And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me
everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult
for me to remember how much you love me."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that
will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so
that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me.
Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this
new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do,
in spite of yourself." And God created a new animal to be a companion for
Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the
Kingdom and the good names are taken and I cannot trhink of a name for
this new animal."
And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to
be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own
name, and you will call him DOG."
And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And
Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged
his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the
Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens
like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed
tought him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility." And the Lord
said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him
forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his
limitations, so he will know that he is not worthy of adoration."
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey
Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not
the supreme being. And Adam learned humility. And God was Pleased. And
Adam was greatly improved.
And Cat didnot care one way or the other.
from Carrie P.
A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience
would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the
same tricks over and over again.
There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each
week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he
understood, he started revealing the magicians tricks in the middle of
the show:
"Look, it's not the same hat"
The magician was furious but couldn't do anything; it was, after all,
the captain's parrot.
One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself
on a piece of wood in the middle of the ocean with the parrot, of course.
They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This
went on for a day and another and another...
After a week the parrot finally said: "OK, I give up. Where's the
boat?"
"Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table"
"Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades ?"
