A little girl was taught to pray for anything she needed, with the idea that
she would receive it.  One night she overheard her parents talking about their
debt, so she decided to pray for $100.00, which she thought would be enough to
solve the problem.  After she had asked for the $100.00, she waited patiently
as one day, then two days, then three days passed and nothing happened.

Finally, she decided she would write a letter to the Lord.  The postmaster
looked at the address and didn't know what to do with it, so he sent it to the
governor.  The governor sent it to the President of the United States, who
said, "I must reward the faith of this wonderful little girl"  So he placed
$5.00 in an envelope and returned it to the little girl.

When she received the money, she thought for a moment and decided that it
would be necessary for her to write another letter to the Lord.  This is how
it read:  "Dear Lord, please don't send any more money through Washington D.C.
They took $95.00 out for taxes."
