A Little Boy's Letter to God: How a Simple Wish Turned into a Heartwarming Tale of Unexpected Taxes

A little boy wanted Rs. 50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Finally, he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs. 50. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, India, they decided to forward it to the President of India as a joke. The President was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs. 20. The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money (Rs. 50) to a little boy, and he did not want to spoil the kid. The little boy was delighted with Rs. 20 and decided to write a thank you note to God, which read: "Dear God, thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that you sent it through the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's House) in New Delhi, and those donkeys deducted Rs. 30 as tax..."

The little boy did not know that this letter could not be sent to God, but he had knowledge about taxes. Miracle...???

It is a good one. It is not the tax that the boy is talking about; it is the human values that we carry and the magnanimity that we have. It shows our mean thinking. It should have been the other way - Rs. 100 against Rs. 30. We need to think big.
