Taxes! Funny one...

A little boy wanted Rs.500 very badly and prayed for weeks, But nothing happened.

Finally he decided to write a letter to GOD requesting the Rs.500 .

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to "God, India",

they decided to forward it to the Finance Minister of India as a joke.

The Finance Minister was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy

Rs.200.

The Finance Minister thought this would appear to be a lot of money

to a little boy, and he did not want to spoil the kid.

The little boy was delighted with Rs.200, and decided to write a

thanking reply note to God, which reads:

"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I

noticed that you sent it through the Finance Ministry in New Delhi, and

those donkeys deducted

Rs.300 as taxes!
