A little boy wanted Rs.50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened.
Finally he decided to write a letter to GOD requesting the Rs.50. 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.20. The Finance Minister thought this would appear to be a lot of money 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 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.30 as taxes!"
