A
man bought a donkey from a preacher. The preacher
told him that his donkey had been trained in a very
unique way, (being the donkey of a preacher). The
only way to make the donkey go is to say "Hallelujah"
and the only way to make him stop is to say "Amen".
The
man was pleased with his purchase and immediately
got on the animal to try out the preacher's instructions.
"Hallelujah" shouted the man. The donkey
began to trot. "Amen" shouted the man.
The donkey stopped immediately. "This is great"
said the man.
With
a "Hallelujah" he rode off very proud
of his new purchase. He travelled for a long time
through some mountains. Suddenly he was heading
towards a cliff. He could not remember the word
to make the donkey stop. "Stop!" Halt!"
he cried. The donkey just kept on going. "Oh,
no. Bible! Church!, please stop." shouted the
man. The donkey just began to trot faster. He was
getting closer and closer to the cliff top.
Finally
in desperation the man said a prayer, "Please,
Lord, please make this donkey stop before I go off
the edge of this mountain. In Jesus' name, amen".
The donkey came to an abrupt stopjust one step away
from the edge of the cliff.
"Hallelujah"
shouted the man.
