    A little boy wanted Rs. 500 very badly and prayed for weeks, But nothing happened.

    Finally he decided to write a letter to GOD requesting the Rs. 500.

    When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to "God, India",
    they decided to forward it to the Finance Minister of India as a joke.
    The Finance Minister was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to
    send the little boy Rs.200. The Finance Minister thought this would appear to
    be a lot of money to a little boy, and he did not want to spoil the kid.
    The little boy was delighted with Rs.200, and decided to write a thanking
    reply note to God, which reads:
    "Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However,
    I noticed that you sent it through the Finance Ministry in New Delhi,
    and those donkeys deducted Rs. 300 as tax's!"
