Sham S. Misri
A deeply religious minded man lived in a house beside a
river. One day the banks burst and the house was flooded. As the water level
rose alarmingly, the man climbed onto the roof of the house.
A boat came by. “Climb aboard,” called the captain.
“No I shall stay here, “said the man. “God will take care of
me.”
Twenty minutes later, with the waters still rising, the man climbed
onto the chimney. Another boat came past. “Jump aboard,” said the captain.
“No I shall stay here; god will take care of me.”
With the water now up to the man’s waist a helicopter suddenly
swooped around. “Quick!” shouted the pilot. “Climb aboard!”
“No, I shall stay here,” insisted the man. “God will take
care of me.”
The water level continued to rise and soon the man was swept
from the chimney and drowned. Up in heaven, he sought out God. “I thought you said
you would take care of me,” he complained.
God said: “I sent you two boats and helicopter. What more do
you want?”
