                          God is missing

A couple had two little boys aged eight and ten years, who were very mischievous. They were always getting into trouble. Their parents knew that if any mischief occurred in their village, their sons were probably involved. The boys' mother that a saint in the outskirts of the village had been successful in disciplining children.So she requested the saint to speak to her sons. The saint smiled and asked her to send her sons to him separately. So, the mother sent her younger son first, in the morning. The saint asked the boy to sit before him and asked him sternly with his powerful voice, " Where is God ?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response. So the saint repeated the question in an even sterner tone, " Where is God !!?" Again the wide-eyed boy made no attempt to answer. The saint raised his voice and asked, " WHERE IS GOD !?" The boy screamed and ran directly home and dove into a closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him hiding, he asked, "What happened ?"  The younger brother gasping for breath, replied, " We are in big trouble this time, brother. God is missing and they think we did it!"
These words brought a dramatic change in the elder brother also.There arose no necessity for sending the older one to the saint. From that day on wards the two brothers gave up their mischief and turned into well-behaved boys.
