The man and God
A man was walking through a forest pondering life. He walked, pondered, walked and pondered. He felt very close to nature and even close to God. He felt so close that he felt if he spoke, God would listen. So he asked: "God, are you listening?". And God replied: "Yes, my son, I am here".
The man stopped and pondered some more. He looked towards the sky and said: "God, what is a million years to you?". God replied: "Well, my son, a million years to you is like a second to me".
So the man continued to walk and ponder... Then he looked to the sky and said: "God, what is a million dollars to you?". And God replied: "My son, my son... a million dollars to you is like a penny to me. It means almost nothing to me. It does not even have a value it is so little".
The man looked down, pondered a bit, got a gleam in his eye, and then looked up to the sky and said: "God, can I have a million dollars?".
And God replied: "Sure. In a second."
