Little Melody came into the kitchen where her mother was cooking dinner.
Her birthday was coming up and she thought this was a good time to tell her mother what she wanted: 'Mum, I want a bike for my birthday.'
Little Melody was a bit of a troublemaker. She had got into trouble at school and at home. Melody's mother asked her if she thought she deserved to get a bike for her birthday. Little Melody, of course, thought she did.
Melody's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to reflect on her behaviour over the last year, and write a letter to God, and tell him why she deserved a bike for her birthday.
Little Melody stomped up the steps to her room and sat down to write God a letter.
LETTER 1:
Dear God,
I have been a very good girl this year and I would like a bike for my birthday. I want a red one.
Your friend, Melody.
Melody knew this wasn't true. she had not been a very good girl this year, so she tore up the letter and started again.
LETTER 2:
Dear God,
This is your friend Melody. I have been a pretty good girl this year, and I would like a red bike for my birthday.
Thank you,
Melody.
Melody knew this wasn't true either. she tore up the letter and started again.
LETTER 3:
Dear God,
I have been an OK girl this year and I would really like a red bike for my birthday.
Your friend,
Melody.
Melody knew she could not send this letter to God either. Melody was very upset. she went downstairs and told her mother she wanted to go to church.
Melody's mother thought her plan had worked because Melody looked very sad. 'Just be home in time for dinner,' her mother said. Melody walked down the street to the church and up to the altar. she looked around to see if anyone was there. she picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary. she slipped it under her skirt and ran out of the church, down the street, into her house, and up to her room. she shut the door to her room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen.
Melody began to write her letter to God.
LETTER 4:
I'VE GOT YOUR MUM.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE!!!
