A little Indian 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, as he thought Rs.500 would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy; 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 taxes!"
