SURVIVOR
The only survivor of a shipwreck
was washed up on a small, uninhabited
island.
He prayed feverishly for God
to rescue him, and everyday he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed
forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of
driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few
possessions.
But then one day, after
scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke
rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened - everything was lost. He was
stunned with grief and anger."God, how could you do this to me?" he cried.
Early the next day, however,
he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had
come to rescue him.
"How did you know I was
here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal,"
they replied.
