One day God and the Devil where sitting around a table drinking
So the devil starts bragging about how mean and tough he was
How he is the destroyer of worlds and nothing can defeat him
So God sitting with this young creature
Who calls himself by many names one being the devil
God says to him "you think you are the meanest toughest thing in the universe
Although you have not ventured to far out in it".
"Yes," The devil replied.
Alright then, I have this little planet I have been working on for about six days called Earth.
There you go, Devil, show me your cruelty and make me what you believe to be the most destructive things in the Univers. So the Devil sat there a while with the clay of creation and he built this massive monsters called Leviathan or dinosaurs and the T Rex and velociraptors and he made helpless creatures for them to feed on and just for fun put spikes on some of them to fight back.
Now god and the devil sat there for millions of years watching these creatures and God said " That's pretty good devil. But now it's my turn and hurled a mediator at the planet called earth and like an eraser wiped everything out.
Then about only ten thousand years ago, God said ok here is what I am going to do. I am going to put these little tinny creaturs. I will call then people, no spikes, no big teeth, no claws, just little tinny creatures on the earth and I will have the earth start peopling. Then let's see just how destructive your Dinosaurs really were?

forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors
We are all bent until we are broken
We see only what we are told to
Say nothing see nothing hear nothing
Nothing is all you will ever amount to
Put aside jealousy and you will ponder faith
But give in and you are giving everything
Take and you will have nothing
Give and you will have left everything
Leave and you will come again another day
Press and you will have pushed it away
Loneliness is far from grace
People are a hellish race
Driven only by how much they can save
While at the same time they see how much they can take
No one cares for yesterday
Except for the debts that tomorrow must be paid
We see only what we are told to
Say nothing see nothing hear nothing
Nothing is all you will ever amount to
Put aside jealousy and you will ponder faith
But give in and you are giving everything
Take and you will have nothing
Give and you will have left everything
Leave and you will come again another day
Press and you will have pushed it away
Loneliness is far from grace
People are a hellish race
Driven only by how much they can save
While at the same time they see how much they can take
No one cares for yesterday
Except for the debts that tomorrow must be paid

A magic forest story- The boy who cried wolf
One day a boy went to visit his uncle with his father and when they arrived they found his uncle asleep under a tree in the field with his dog. The father asked his brother to come into town with him. But the uncle couldn't because he was a shepherd and had to watch his sheep.
"I will watch him, uncle" the boy said excitedly
Uncle: I don't know son, it is a dangerous job to watch sheep
Boy: I can do it it looks so easy
Uncle: There is a wolf in these parts who could eat the sheep, he could even eat you!
Boy: I am not scared
Father: Let us watch the sheep brother while we go into town.
Uncle: Ok son but the dog will not be able to stay with you, for he follows me everywhere I go.
Boy: It's ok uncle I can do it.
Uncle: While just in case as we leave the village we will tell the people you are watching my sheep and will tell wolf if you see him.
Boy: OK uncle, you can count on me.
The father and the uncle left to town making sure they told the people in the village that the boy would be watching the sheep for him.
The boy laid down under the tree like the uncle did for about ten minutes before he got bored and began to throw rocks into the field, then he chased some of the sheep, then he snuck up and them and scarred them laughing until he finally walked back to the tree that was at the top of a wall that looked down onto the village. Finally, the boy yelled, " Wolf, Wolf, Wolf" and all the village people came running with their pitchforks and shovels. When they got there the boy sat under the tree and the people asked: "where is the wolf, where is he?" The boy said he ran off into the tree line on the other side of the field. Some of the village people went and looked as the boy thought he would be in trouble for calling them all there. Then the villagers returned and said, " he must be gone, I cannot even find any tracks." As the villagers walked back to the village.
The boy sat there again after they left thinking of how funny it was to see them all come running and again yelled: " Wolf, wolf, wolf" and all the villagers came running. This time the boy was smiling as they asked where the wold was and he said: " he ran off". Then again after they left the boy yelled Wolf, wolf, wolf, and they came back as this time the boy could not stop laughing at them while he rolled on the ground pointing at them. Furious the townspeople left and the boy sat board trying to throw stones into a broken basket he found.
As the sun began to set he heard a noise in the distance and when he looked he could see a big wolf. He cried out to the people wolf, wolf, wolf. But this time no one came running and he started running as the wolf chased him down and ate him and all the sheep.
" You see the townspeople whether they came or not did not matter. It was going to be the boy yelling wolf that scarred the wolf off" But the wolf already knew where the boy was and that he was alone without the dog that sat under that tree and knew he could attack when the time was right.
You see there is always a wolf hiding in the bushes out of sight and it only matter is you see him first or if he sees you!"
"I will watch him, uncle" the boy said excitedly
Uncle: I don't know son, it is a dangerous job to watch sheep
Boy: I can do it it looks so easy
Uncle: There is a wolf in these parts who could eat the sheep, he could even eat you!
Boy: I am not scared

A magic forest story - White or black?
This week y son and I were at the park and he was pushed by a bigger kid and came to me crying. There is this little-wooded section with around 20 trees and I call it the magic forest where I sit with him and tell him a story. As I sat on the bench he would not stop crying and I carried him to the magic forest and said.
There once was a white knight who was always picked on by a bigger knight they called the back knight. he would push the white knight around and call him names. One day the white knight stood up to the black knight and said I will not be picked on anymore. He pushed the black knight and stepped back. As the black knight charged at him the white knight ran away and the black knight was filled with rage and chased after him.
The white knight ran through the forest and held onto a tree as he ran between the two trees and the black knight tried to follow but when he tried to run between the two trees he couldn't because he was running too fast and hit his head on the second tree and was knocked out cold.
When the black knight woke up he stood up and walked out of the forest to where the white knight was standing there waiting for him. The black and white knight stared at each other and the white knight was holding a small thin stick and drew a line in the dirt with it and said you shall not cross this line.
( By this time by 3-year-old son and stopped crying and was listening to the story)
The black knight laughed loudly at the white knight to intimidate him and charged at him with all his force. When the black knight came lose to the white knight he fell into a small hole the white knight had dug days earlier and covered it with sticks and leaves.
The black knight in a rage clawed with his fingers at the sides of the hole trying to get out but couldn't. The white knight stood over the hole and said "if you are truly sorry I will let you out of the hole". The black knight in rage said " When I get out of this hole I will kill you"! and the white knight left him there and walked away.
For three days the white knight came to the hole and looked down at the black knight who everyday yelled at the white knight when he saw him that he was going to kill him.
Finally on the fourth day when the white knight came and looked down at the black knight the black knight said" I am sorry for everything I have ever done to you for today I will die and before I do I only wanted to apologize for the way I have treated you".
The white knight threw down a rope he had already tied to a tree days before he even dug the hole and the black knight to weak to climb out himself tied it around his waist as the wight knight and townspeople helped pull the black knight out of the hole.
That night the town had a feast as they welcomed the black knight to it and for the first time the black knight became a part of the town and from there on out the black and white knight became the best of friends.
After that I asked my son if he wanted to go back to the playground and he said yes. I held his hand and we walked back to the park where he started playing with the boy that lives across the street from us at one of the climber sets. The boy that pushed my son and the group of kids he plays with at the part were running around and tried to climb the climber set up the slide my sone and his friend were sitting on with a smaller child and his dad that was standing beside it.
My son jumped down the slide head first to stopped the crowd of kids yelling no, go and pointing away and kept doing it until they left to play on the other toys. Not quite the message I had ment to send but he did learn to stick up for himself and more importantly he thought he was protecting the other two children.
If you think this story was racist because white meant good and black meant evil. You need to look in the mirror at your eyes and your soal all eyes are white but many soals are black. Skin colour is never purely white or black anyways and those who look skin deep will never know the story behind the cover. It is meant for white being what is right, not good and black is meant for what is wrong, not bad.
People who think they are good are more capable of doing so many wrong things to so many right people.
