Nice joke

A little boy wanted Rs.50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing
happened.
Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs.50.
When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, INDIA,
they decided to forward it to the President of the India as a joke.
The President was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send
the little boy Rs.20.
The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money (Rs.50) to
a little boy, and he did not want to spoil the kid.
...
....
The little boy was delighted with Rs.20, and decided to write a thank
you note to God, which read:
"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed
that you sent it through the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, and those
donkeys deducted Rs.30 in taxes ... "
