Why Does It Rain on the Road?
A small boy called Tom and his father were having a walk in the country. The sun was shining brightly in the cloudless sky. The day was nice and calm, as the weather forecast said "dry and warm in the morning with possible showers in the afternoon". But we all know that weathermen sometimes make mistakes and it is a fact that weather in Europe has become really changeable. So, though Tom and his father didn't expect any rainstorm it suddenly began to rain very hard. The father and the son did not have their umbrellas with them, and there was nowhere to hide from the rain. Soon they were very wet, and the small boy did not feel happy.
For a long time while they were walking home through the rain, the boy was thinking. Then at last Tom turned to his father and asked: "Why does it rain, Father? It isn't very nice, is it?"
"No, it isn't very nice, but it's very useful, Tom," answered his father. "It rains and the fruit and vegetables grow for us and the grass grows for the cows and the sheep."
Tom thought about his father's words for a few seconds, and then he said, "Then, why does it rain on the road, Father?"

Playing with God
Neil was five years old. He lived with his parents in the North of England not far from the city of York. The place where they lived had very attractive scenery with some beautiful hills and valleys, green meadows and a wonderful river with a lot of small waterfalls. Neil and his parents loved and admired the place very much. But there was one little problem. There were no neighbors near their house and as Neil had no brothers or sisters there was nobody for the boy to play with.
Neil's father worked in the University of York and his good friend Mr. Fred Brown often visited him and his family. Mr. Brown was a politician and a member of the government. But as he didn't have his own children he loved to talk to Neil when he came to visit his parents.
One Sunday Mr. Brown had lunch with the family and then Neil's mother went into the kitchen and washed the dishes and his father went to his study and had a very important telephone talk. "Stay here and talk to Mr. Brown," Neil's father said to him.
"And show him your toys," his mother said. Neil showed Mr. Brown his toys and they talked for half an hour. Then Neil said to Mr. Brown, "I'm going to go out and play with God in the garden now."
Fred Brown was surprised. "How do you play with God, Neil?" he asked him.
"Oh, it's very easy but quite exciting," Neil answered. "I just throw the ball up, and then God throws it back down to me."
