Nana i ke kumu



I heard a good one yesterday. This guy who just got back from a couple of years in the Phillipines told me this story...

A few months ago, after an activity which included a lot of FUN and a lot of FOOD (YAY!) there were leftovers. I guess he looked too skinny, so the people in charge decided to give him the leftover food. He took it home and ate and ate but then there was still so much left over and he started feeling like a glutton, so he thought about a family he knew that he could take the rest of the leftovers to.

He packaged everything up in foil and walked to their house. He knocked on the door and one of the kids opened the door and then closed it really fast and yelled out for his mom and dad. His parents came to the door.

The guy who had the food handed it to the parents who passed it to one of the kids, who lifted off the foil and yelled "SPAGHETTI"!!!!!! The guy looked at the parents who had tears running down their faces. He asked "what's wrong"? The dad said that they didn't have any food and he did the only thing he could think of to do - he got the family down on their knees and had one of the kids pray. That smart little kid prayed for SPAGHETTI !

It was just a little while later that he knocked on the door.

Good one huh? Hmmmm...I think I'll go pray.
