   There was a little boy living beside the seaside. He did not known anything about God. One day he was coming home from school and he met a little pal of his. They were both walking home, when it began to rain and thunder and the little pal said, "Jesus help us". The other little boy wondered, and asked why did he say that, and the other boy answered, "you should always ask Jesus to help you when anything happens and He will help you".
