Taxed


A little boy wanted Rs 50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs 50.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, they decided to forward it to the Prime Minister as a joke. The Prime Minister was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs 30. The Prime Minister thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

The little boy was delighted with the Rs 30, and decided to write a thank you note to God, which reached the Prime Minister and it read:

"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that you sent it through the 7 Race Course Road and those donkeys deducted Rs 20 for taxes"
