The Post Office Took It
A post office received a letter addressed to ‘God, Heaven.’ Since they obviously could not deliver it, the staff opened it. It read:
‘Dear God, I am a poor eighty-year-old woman. All my life, I have never asked for anything. But now I desperately need a hundred dollars. Please have mercy on me and grant an old woman that money.’
Everyone at the post office was touched. Each person contributed a little, and together they raised ninety dollars, which they sent to her.
The next day, the old woman sent another letter to God. This time, the manager gathered all the staff to hear her words of thanks:
‘Dear God, I thank You from the bottom of my heart. But I received only ninety dollars. Those people at the post office stole the other ten!’
