Leroy's Bike
Little Leroy went to his mother demanding a new bicycle.
His mother
decided that he should take a look at himself and the way he
acts.
She said, "Well Leroy, it isn't Christmas and we don't have
money to
just go out and buy you anything you want. So why don't you write a
letter to
Jesus and pray for one instead." After his temper tantrum, his
mother
sent him to his room. He finally sat down to write a letter to
Jesus.
Dear Jesus,
I've been a good boy this year and would appreciate a new bicycle.
Your
Friend,
Signed: Leroy
Now Leroy knew that Jesus really knew what kind
of boy he was (brat).
So, he ripped up the letter and decided to give it
another try.
Dear
Jesus,
I've been an OK boy
this year and I want a new bicycle.
Yours Truly,
Signed:
Leroy
Well, Leroy know this wasn't totally honest so he tore it up
and tried
again.
Dear Jesus,
I've thought about being a good
boy this year and can I have a new bicycle?
Signed: Leroy.
Well, Leroy
looked deep down in his heart, which by the way was what
his mother really
wanted. He crumpled up the letter threw it in the
trash and went running
outside. He aimlessly wandered about; depressed
because of the way he treated
his parents and really considering his
actions. He finally found himself in
front of a church. Leroy went
inside and knelt down, not really knowing what
to do and looking around. He
finally got up and began to walk out the
door and looked around at all
the statues. All of a sudden he grabbed a small
Virgin Mary statue and ran
out of the door. He went home hid it under his bed
and wrote
this
letter.
Jesus,
I've broken most of the ten commandments, shot spit wads in school,
tore up
my sister's Barbie doll and lots more. I'm desperate. I've got your
mama and
if you ever want to see her again, give me a bike.
Signed:
You know
who
