If I already sent this, ignore it.

Little

Leroy

Little Leroy came into the kitchen where his mother was

making dinner. His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time

to tell his mother what he wanted.

" Mom, I want a bike for my birthday. " Little Leroy was a bit of a

troublemaker. He had gotten into trouble at school and at home. Leroy's

mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike

for his birthday. Little Leroy, of course, thought he did.

Leroy's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted him to reflect on his

behavior over the last year and write a letter to God and tell him why he

deserved a bike for his birthday. Little Leroy stomped up the

steps to his room and sat down to write God a letter.

LETTER 1:

Dear God, I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for

my birthday. I want a red one. Your friend, Leroy.

Leroy knew this wasn't true. He had not been a very good boy this year, so he

tore up the letter and started over.

LETTER 2:

Dear God, this is your friend Leroy. I have been a pretty good boy this year,

and I would like a red bike for my birthday. Thank you, Leroy.

Leroy knew this wasn't true either. He tore up the letter and started again.

LETTER 3:

Dear God, I have been an OK boy this year and I would really like a red bike

for my birthday, Leroy.

Leroy knew he could not send this letter to God either, so he wrote another

letter.

LETTER 4:

Dear God, I know I haven't been a good boy this year. I am very sorry. I will

be a good boy if you just send me a red bike for my birthday. Thank you,

Leroy.

Leroy knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him a bike.

By now, Leroy was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mother he

wanted to go to church. Leroy's mother thought her plan had worked because

Leroy looked very sad. " Just be home in time for dinner, " his mother

said. Leroy walked down the street to the church

and up to the altar. He looked around to see if anyone was there. He picked

up a statue of the Virgin . He slipped it under his shirt and ran

out of the church, down the street, into his house, and up to his room. He

shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen. Leroy

began to write his letter to God.

LETTER 5:

I'VE GOT YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE. Signed, YOU
