I asked for strength, and god gave me difficulties to make me strong. i asked for wisdom, and god gave me problems to learn to solve. i asked for prosperity, and god gave me a brain and brawn to work. i asked for courage, and god gave me dangers to overcome. i asked for love, and god gave me people to help. i asked for favors, and god gave me opportunities. i received nothing i wanted. i received everything i needed.

The short conversation that follows eventually led to a tree religion. its tenet of faith was this: a tree that was a good tree and led a clean decent and upstanding life could be assured of a future life after death. if it was very good indeed it would eventually be reincarnated as five thousand rolls of lavatory paper.

"et lux in tenebris lucet"-and the light shineth in the darkness.
