"Little Barry"​

        • Little Barry came into the kitchen where his mother was cooking dinner.

        • His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time

        • to tell his mother what he wanted:

        • 'Mum, I want a bike for my birthday.'

        • Little Barry was a bit of a troublemaker..

        • He had got into trouble at school and at home.

        • Barry's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for his birthday.

        • Little Barry, of course, thought he did.

        • Barry's mother, wanted him to reflect on his behaviour over the last year,

        • and write a letter to God, and tell him why he deserved a bike for his birthday.

        • Little Barry stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write God a letter.

        • LETTER 1:

        • Dear God, I have been a very good boy this year

        • and I would like a bike for my birthday.

        • I want a red one.

        • Your friend, Barry.

        • Barry knew this wasn't true.

        • He had not been a very good boy this year,

        • so he tore up the letter and started again.

        • LETTER 2:

        • Dear God, This is your friend Barry.

        • I have been a pretty good boy this year,

        • and I would like a red bike for my birthday.

        • Thank you,

        • Barry.

        • Barry knew this wasn't true either.

        • He tore up the letter and started again.

        • LETTER 3:

        • Dear God, I have been an OK boy this year

        • and I would really like a red bike for my birthday.

        • Your friend, Barry.

        • Barry knew he could not send this letter to God either.

        • Barry was very upset.

        • He went downstairs and told his mother he wanted to go to church.

        • Barry's mother thought her plan had worked because Barry looked very sad.

        • 'Just be home in time for dinner,' his mother said.

        • Barry walked down the street to the church and up to the altar.

        • He looked around to see if anyone was there.

        • He picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary.

        • He slipped it under his shirt and ran out of the church,

        • down the street, into his house, and up to his room.

        • He shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen.

        • Barry began to write his letter to God.

        • LETTER 4:

        • I'VE GOT YOUR MUM.

        • IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN,

        • SEND ME THE BIKE!

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

DID HE GET THE BIKE HE WANTED?
