Little Bobby 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 Bobby was a bit of
a troublemaker.
He had gotten into
trouble at school and at home.
Bobby’s mother asked
him if he thought he deserved
to get a bike for his birthday.
Little Bobby, of course, thought he did.
Bobby’s mother wanted Bobby to reflect on his behaviour over the last year and said,
“Go to your room, Bobby, and think about how you have behaved this year. Then write a
letter to God and tell Him why you deserve a bike for your birthday.”
Little Bobby stumped up the steps to his room. Jessy, his pet dog followed him. Bobby
thought for some time and sat down to write a letter to God. Jessy sat beside him and
SCERT
started watching what Bobby was doing.
