God will take care of me

[Josie]

There was a very religious man named Jim,
who lived near a river. One day, the
river rose over the banks and flooded
the town, and Jim was forced to climb onto
his porch roof. While sitting there, a
man in a boat came along and told Jim to
get in the boat with him.

Jim replied "No, that O.K., God will take
care of me."

So the man in the boat drove off.

The water rose higher, Jim climbed onto
his roof, another boat came along and
that person told Jim to get in.

Jim replied "No, that's O.K., God will
take care of me."

So that person drove off.

The water rose even higher and Jim climbed
onto the chimney. A helicopter came along
and lowered a ladder for him. The woman
in the helicopter told Jim to climb up
the ladder.

Jim said "No, that's O.k". The woman
said "Are your sure"? Jim replied "Yes,
I'm sure, God will take care of me."

Finally the water rose too high and Jim
drowned. JIm got to heaven and was face
to face with God.

Jim said to God, "You told me you would
take care of me! What happened?"

God replied, "Well, I sent you two boats
and a helicopter. What else did you
want?"
