Is there anyone up there?
Seamus had a major mishap on his first day of mountain climbing. He slipped
from a highish peak and fell twenty feet, stopping himself only by grabbing hold
of a very, very small clump of bushes. There he hung, every second expecting the
bushes to snap and send him hurtling hundreds of feet to his death.
'Is there anyone up there? Is there anyone who can help me? Is there anyone
at all?'
Suddenly the heavens boomed with the sound of a mighty voice:
'I am the Almighty. I am here to help you, Seamus. Trust me. Let go of the
bush and let yourself drop and I will catch you in my arms and carry you safely
to earth!'
Seamus pondered for a while, and then said, 'I appreciate the offer. But is
there anyone else up there?'
