A man bought a donkey from a preacher. The preacher told the man that this donkey had been trained in a very unique
way. The only way to make the donkey go, is to say "Hallelujah!"; The way to make him stop, is to say, "Amen!"
The man was pleased with his purchase and immediately got on the animal to try out the preacher's instructions. "Hallelujah!",
shouted the man. The donkey began to trot. "Amen!", shouted the man. The donkey stopped immediately. "This
is great!", said the man. With a "Hallelujah", he rode off very proud of his new purchase. The man traveled
for a long time through some mountains. Soon he was heading towards a cliff. He could not remember the word to make the donkey
stop. "Stop",said the man. "Halt!", he cried. The donkey just kept on going. "Oh No!, Bible!,
Church!, Please Stop!", shouted the man. The donkey just began to trot faster. He was getting closer and closer to
the edge of the cliff. Finally in desperation, the man said a prayer: "Please Dear Lord. Please make this donkey
stop before I go off the edge of this mountain. In JESUS name, Amen." The donkey came to an abrupt stop just one
step from the edge of the mountain. "Hallelujah!" shouted the man. Thank you Betty
