| The Cat and the Milkman
Little Lucy
went out into the garden and saw her cat Tiddles lying on the ground with its
eyes shut and its legs in the air. She fetched her Dad to look at Tiddles, and
on seeing the cat he said, as gently as he could, "I'm afraid Tiddles is dead,
Lucy".
"So why are his legs sticking up in the air like that, Daddy?"
asked Lucy as she fought back the tears.
At a loss for something to say
the father replied, "Tiddles' legs are pointing straight up in the air so that
it will be easier for Jesus to float down from heaven above and grab a leg and
lift Tiddles up to heaven".
Little Lucy seemed to take her Tiddles death
quite well. However, two days later when her father came home from work Lucy had
tears in her eyes and said: "Mommy almost died this morning".
Fearing
something terrible had happened the father shook the girl and shouted, "How do
you mean Lucy? Tell Daddy!
"Well", mumbled Lucy, "soon after you left
for work this morning I saw mommy lying on the floor with her legs in the air
and she was shouting,
"Oh Jesus!!! I'm coming, I'm coming!!!" and if
it hadn't been for the milkman holding her down she would definitely have gone,
Daddy". |
