"The child whispered, 'God, speak to me' And a meadow lark sang. The child did not hear.
So the child yelled, 'God, speak to me!' And the thunder rolled across the sky But the child did not listen.
The child looked around and said, 'God let me see you' and a star shone brightly But the child did not notice.
And the child shouted, 'God show me a miracle!' And a life was born but the child did not know.
So the child cried out in despair, 'Touch me God, and let me know you are here!' Whereupon
God reached down And touched the child.
But the child brushed the butterfly away And walked away unknowingly."

Nice story...I liked it very much. Though it confuses me...God (if there is any) could have taught that kid in a straightforward fashion (at least I would've liked it that way)...but he insisted on examples, who is unsuccessful here, the teacher or the student?
I agree with d...God(or whoever) is a sadist and already knows that the child wont realise...or he was trying desperate to sound humble...he didnt even want to claim success...
