A devout religious man fell on hard times. So he took to praying in the following
fashion: “Lord, remember all the years I served you as best I could, asking for
nothing in return. Now that I am old and bankrupt I am going to ask you for a
favour for the first time in my life and I am sure you will not say No: allow me
to win the lottery.”
Days passed. Then weeks and months. But nothing happened. Finally, almost driven
to despair, he cried out one night, “Why don’t you give me a break, God?”
He suddenly heard the voice of God replying, “Give me a break yourself! Why don’t
you buy a lottery ticket?”
