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
traveled for a long time through the mountains. As he headed
towards a cliff, he tried to 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 edge of the cliff. 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, AMEN.” The donkey came to an abrupt stop just one step
from the edge of the cliff. Hallelujah!” the man shouted…....
