God Loves Babies
The husband and wife wanted to have a baby. They prayed for a baby. God
answered their prayers. The doctor said they were going to have a baby. The
wife asked, "How many?" The doctor said he didn't know yet. The husband
and wife were very happy. Now they would have a baby. They both wanted to
have a baby. They visited the doctor a month later. He examined the wife. He
used a special machine. He saw the baby. He saw more than one baby. He
saw two babies. He saw more than two babies. He counted the babies. He
told the wife, "You will have more than one baby. You will have eight babies."
The wife couldn't believe it. Her husband couldn't believe it. Eight babies!
"We will have a big family," said the husband. "We will have a very big
family," said the wife. "But how can we pay for all these babies?" asked the
husband. "We can pay for one baby. But eight babies cost a lot of money.
How can we pay for eight babies?" The wife said, "We will find a way. God will
help us find a way." They both smiled. They would have a big happy family.
20. Don't Be Late
He was late. He was always late. Why did time always go so fast? Time
always went too fast. He looked at his watch. He looked at the clock on the
wall. They both said 6:10. He had to leave in 10 minutes. But first he had to
shave. Then he had to brush his teeth. Then he had to get dressed. Shaving
took time. Brushing his teeth took time. Getting dressed took time. But he
had only 10 minutes. So he turned off the TV. He turned off the radio, too. He
turned off the table lamp. He went into the bathroom. He shaved. He
brushed his teeth. He went into his bedroom. He got dressed. He looked at
his watch. He looked at the clock on the wall. They both said 6:25. He had to
hurry. He went out to his car. He drove fast. He slowed down at a stop sign. A
cop saw him. The cop wrote him a ticket. "Why didn't you stop at the stop
sign?" the cop asked. "But officer, I was in a hurry," he said. The cop gave
him the ticket. The cop said, "Leave home earlier next time."
21. A Clean Car
He had a blue car. He loved his blue car. It was dark blue. It had four doors. It
was not a new car. It was an old car. But it had new tires. It had new black
tires. All four tires were new. He felt safe with his new tires. They would not
blow out. He could drive everywhere with his new tires. His car was dirty. He
needed to wash it. The windows were dirty. The doors were dirty. The hood
was dirty. The trunk was dirty. The bumpers were dirty. The tires weren't dirty.
They were new tires. They were black and shiny. They looked good. He did
not have to wash his tires. But he did have to wash his car. He put water into
a bucket. He put a sponge into the bucket. He washed his car with the
sponge. He dried his car with a towel. His car was shiny blue now. It looked
like new.
