A man bought a donkey from a preacher.
The preacher told the man
that this 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!".
The only way to make the donkey 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.
The man travelled for a long time
through some mountains. Soon
he was heading towards a cliff. He
could not remember the word to make
the donkey stop. "Stop", said the man.
"Halt!", he cried. The donkey just kept
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 edge. Finally, in desperation,
the man said a prayer..."Please, dear Lord.
Please make this donkey stop before I go
off the end of this mountain,
In Jesus name, AMEN".
The donkey came to an abrupt stop
just one step from the edge of the cliff.
