Little tacky - but good analogy, and we pastors will make something of it!
_The Duck & the Devil_
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.
He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.
He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target.
Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.
As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck
square
in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!
In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to
see his
sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash
the dishes'
But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help
in the
kitchen.'
Then she whispered to him, 'Remember the duck?'
So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children! wanted to go
fi****ng
and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make
supper.'
Sally just smiled and said, 'Well that's all right because
Johnny
told me he wanted to help'
She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally went
fi****ng and
Johnny stayed to help.
After several day of Johnny doing both his chores and
Sally's; he
finally couldn't stand it any longer.
He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I
know.
You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole
thing,
but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering
how long
you would let Sally make a slave of you.'
