Once upon a time there lived a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long way to get to where God lived, so he filled his backpack with cupcakes and a few cans of lemonade and set off on his journey. When he walked about three blocks, he saw an elderly woman. She sat on a park bench and looked at the pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and opened his backpack. He was about to take a few sips of lemonade, but noticed that the woman was hungry and offered her a cupcake. She accepted the cupcake gratefully and smiled at the boy. Her smile was so wonderful that he wanted to see her again, and he also offered the woman lemonade. And again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all day, eating and smiling, without saying a single word.
When it began to get dark, the boy felt very tired and began to get ready to go home. He got up to leave, but without taking even a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the elderly woman and hugged her tightly. She gave him her most joyful smile. When the boy came home, his mother was surprised at the joy that shone on his face. She asked:
-What made you so happy?
He replied:
— I had breakfast with God.
Before Mom answered anything, he added:
- You know, She has the most beautiful smile in the world!
Meanwhile, the elderly woman, also glowing with joy, returned home. Her son was amazed at the look of calm on her face. He asked:
- Mom, why are you so happy today?
She replied:
— I ate cupcakes with God in the park.
And before her son could answer, she added:
- You know, He is much younger than I thought.
