Boy prays to be like his dad
Once a little boy of five was left alone with his father at bedtime. It had never happened before. After some manoeuvring and a lot of fun, the father finally got the little fellow into his night clothes and was about to lift him into bed when the child said, «But, Daddy, I have to say my prayers.» So he knelt down beside the bed, folded his hands, raised his eyes to heaven, and prayed the usual «Now I lay me down to sleep.» But tonight he took another look at his Dad, then continued to pray, «And, dear God, make me a great big good man like my daddy. Amen.» In a moment he was in bed and within five minutes, asleep. Then the father knelt by his son’s bedside and prayed, «Dear Lord, make me a great big good man, like my boy thinks I am.»
