Little Lily

Lily came into the kitchen where her mother was making dinner.

Her

birthday was coming up and she thought this was a good time to tell

her
mother what she wanted. "Mom, I want a bike for my

birthday."

Now, Little Lily was a bit of a troublemaker. She had gotten

into trouble
at school and at home. Lily's mother asked her if she thought

she deserved
to get a bike for her birthday. Little Lily, of course,

thought she did.

Lily's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to

reflect on her
behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God and

tell him why she
deserved a bike for her birthday. Little Lily stomped up

the
steps to her room and sat down to write God a letter.

LETTER

1:
Dear God:

I have been a very good girl this year and I would like

a bike for my
birthday. I want a red one.

Your friend,

Lily

Lily knew this wasn't true. She had not been a very good girl this

year, so
she tore up the letter and started

over.

LETTER 2:
Dear God:

This

is your friend Lily. I have been a pretty good girl this year, and I
would

like a red bike for my birthday.

Thank you, Lily

Lily knew this

wasn't true either. She tore up the letter and

started
again.

LETTER 3:
Dear

God:

I know I haven't been a good girl this year. I am very sorry. I

will be a
good girl if you just send me a red bike for my

birthday.

Thank you, Lily

Lily knew, even if it was true, this

letter was not going to get her a
bike. By now, she was very upset. She

went downstairs and told her mother
she wanted to go to church.

Lily's mother thought her plan had
worked because Lily looked very

sad.
'Just be home in time for dinner,' her mother said. Lily walked

down the
street to the church and up to the altar. She looked around to see

if anyone
was there. She picked up a statue of the Virgin

Mary,
slipped it under her jacket and ran out of the church, down the

street, into
her house and up to her room. She shut the door and sat

down and wrote her
letter to God.
