**Read it, you’ll know.** Letter to God Little Johnny 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 Johnny was a bit of a troublemaker. He had gotten into trouble at school and at home. Johnny’s mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for his birthday. Little Johnny, of course, thought he did. Johnny’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 Johnny 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, Johnny. Johnny 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 Johnny. I have been a pretty good boy this ``` year, and I would like a red bike for my birthday. ``` Thank you, Johnny. Johnny 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. ``` Your friend, Johnny. Johnny knew he could not send this letter to God either. Johnny was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mother ``` he wanted to go to church. ``` Johnny's mother thought her plan had worked because Johnny ``` looked very sad. ``` "Just be home in time for dinner," his mother said. Johnny 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 Mary. 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. ``` Johnny began to write his letter to God. LETTER 4: I'VE GOT YOUR MOM. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE. Signed YOU KNOW WHO ```
