Two Trouble Makers

A couple had two little mischievous boys, ages 8 and 10. They were
always getting into trouble, and their parents knew that if any
mischief occurred in their town, their sons would get the blame.

The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in
disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys.
The clergyman agreed and asked to see them individually.

So, the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the
older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy
down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?"

They boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there
with his mouth hanging open.

The clergyman repeated the question. "Where is God?"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer.

So, the clergyman raised his voice some more and shook his finger in
the boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God!?"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room. He ran directly home and
dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied: "We are in real BIG
trouble this time! God is missing, and they think we did it!"
