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.
