Children in trouble

A couple had two little boys, ages 6 and
8, who were excessively mischievous. The
two were always getting into trouble and
their parents could be assured that if
any mischief occurred in their town their
two young sons were in some way involved.

The parents were at their wits end as to
what to do about their sons' behavior.
The mother had heard that a clergyman in
town had been successful in disciplining
children in the past, so she asked her
husband if he thought they should send
the boys to speak with the clergyman.
The husband said, "We might as well. We
need to do something before I really lose
my temper!"

The clergyman agreed to speak with the
boys, but asked to see them individually.
The 6-year-old went to meet with him
first. The clergyman sat the boy down
and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"
The boy made no response, so the
clergyman repeated the question in an
even more stern tone, "Where is God?"
Again the boy made no attempt to answer,
so the clergyman raised his voice even
more and shook his finger in the boy's
face, "Where is God?" At that the boy
bolted from the room and ran directly
home, slamming himself in his closet.
His older brother followed him into the
closet and said, "What happened?"

The younger brother replied, "We are in
BIG trouble this time. God is missing
and they think we did it!"

 

The Famous Ship

A huge passenger ship is sailing. A captain
comes up to the bridge and says:

I have bad news and good news.
Which one should I tell first?

The good news.
