One wish


By Captain Walker - Posted on 15 April 2008

A man lying on a beach in Toco, was in deep prayer. Suddenly, the sky clouded above his head. The heavens parted and in a booming voice, God spoke to him saying, "Because you have really tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."

Without giving it much thought the man said, "Build meh a bridge to Scarborough in Tobago, so ah could drive over anytime ah want."

"What?!" exclaimed the Lord in a perplexed annoyed tone. He went on, "Your request is very materialistic! Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Ocean! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it's hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honour and glorify me. As you have just one wish I suggest you give it some more thought"

So the man thought about it for an hour and came back to God: "OK Lord, ah wish ah could understan' meh wife. Ah want tuh know how she does feel inside. What she t'inking when she give meh dee silent treatment. Why she does cry. What she mean when she say 'Nothing wrong!', an' how ah cyan make she TRULY happy."

The Lord replied, "Look, you want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
