New Bike

One day little Johnny asked his mother for a new bike.
His mother said, "At Christmas you send a letter to Santa to ask for what you want, don't you?"
"Yes," replied Johnny, "but it isn't Christmas."
His mother said, "Yes, but you can send a letter to Jesus and ask him." Johnny sat down with a pen and paper and started his letter:

Dear Jesus,
I've been a good boy and I would like a new bike.
Your Friend,
Johnny

He thought about this and decided to start a new letter.

Dear Jesus,
Sometimes I'm a good boy and I would like a new bike.

He thought about this and decided to write another letter.

Dear Jesus,
I thought about being a good boy and I would like a new bike.

He thought about this and decided that he didn't like that one either.
He left and went walking around depressed when he went by a house with a small statue of Mary in the front yard. He picked up the statue and hurried home. He put the statue under the bed and started his new letter.

Dear Jesus,
If you want to see your mother again, send me a new bike!
Your Friend,
Johnny
