A little boy wanted Rs.500 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Finally he decided to write a letter to GOD requesting the Rs.500.
When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to 'God, Pakistan'.
They decided to forward it to the Finance Minister of Pakistan as a joke.
The Finance Minister was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs.200. 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.200, 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 Islamabad, and those donkeys deducted Rs.300 as tax! '
Moral of the Story: Image is every thing....
