He was just a little boy,
On a week's first day.
Wandering home from Bible school and
dawdling on the way.
He scuffed his shoes into the grass; He
even found a caterpillar. He found a fluffy milkweed pod and blew out all
the 'filler.'
A bird's nest in a tree overhead, so wisely
placed up so high.. Was just another wonder, that caught his eager eye.
A neighbor watched his zigzag course and
hailed him from the lawn; Asked him where he'd been that day and what was
going on.
'I've been to Bible School,'
He said and turned a piece of sod. He
picked up a wiggly worm replying, 'I've learned a lot about God.'
'M'm, very fine way,' the neighbor said,
'for a boy to spend his time. If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give
you a brand new dime.'
Quick as a flash the answer came nor were
his accents faint. 'I'll give you a dollar, Mister, if you can tell me where
God ain't.'
