The Lost God
A businessman had two sons. One
was six years old and other was nine.
Since both husband and wife were busy
doing business, they did not have time to
educate their children; therefore, the two
kids became so restless and hyperactive
that they got involved in any fight and
minor theft. After going to court for their
children's wrongdoings, the couple was so
depressed that they both agreed to bring
the kids to a church in the village and
asked the minister to educate them in
hopes that they would become better
boys. Upon their insistence, the minister
finally agreed to spend some of his spare
time to educate the youngsters. He told the
couple to send the younger one to him
first. The couple was elated. They took
their younger son to the church the next
morning and went home with excitement.
The minister took the boy into his
office, thinking that he would teach him a
little bit on religion and virtue. Using a
gentle voice, he asked the boy: "Do you
know where God is?" The boy did not say
anything. He was just quiet and looked
around the room. He looked at the
pictures on the wall, and in the corner of
the room, and bent down to look under
the table, et cetera. Finally, he looked at
the face of the minister without saying one
word.
The minister felt uneasy, but he
reluctantly asked him one more time. This
time, he raised his voice thinking that,
perhaps the boy had not heard him clearly
before. He repeated: "Do you know where
God is?" Hearing his loud voice, the boy's
face looked a bit frightened. However,
besides looking around the room, he did
not say a word, and then again turned his
eyes toward the face of the minister.
At this point, the minister could not
bear it anymore. He pointed his finger at
the boy's face and yelled loudly: "I...I, I'm
asking you for the last time. Do you know
where God is?"
This time, the boy was truly scared.
He hurriedly pushed aside the chair and
ran home. As he arrived home, he
immediately looked for his brother.
Without saying a word, he pulled him to a
corner and said with a shaken voice: "This
time, the matter is very grave!" Watching
his younger brother in such a terrible state,
he was also worried. He asked his
younger brother again: "What happened?
You look so miserable?" The younger
brother answered in a broken voice:
"God...has been stolen, and they suspect...
suspect... that we are the ones who took
Hirm!!!"
