A man bought a donkey from a preacher. The preacher told the man that his donkey had been trained in a very unique way. The only way to make the donkey go, was to say, "Hallelujah!" The only way to make the donkey stop, was to say "Amen!"
The man was pleased with his purchase and immediately got on the donkey's back to try out the preacher's instructions. "Hallelujah!" he shouted, and the donkey began to trot down the road. "Amen!" yelled the man, and the donkey immediately stopped. "This is great!" thought the man, and with a "Hallelujah!", he rode off very proud of his new acquisition.
The man traveled for a long time through some mountains. Soon, he found he was heading towards a cliff. He panicked because he couldn't remember the word to make the donkey stop. "Stop!" said the man. "Halt!" he cried. "Whoa!" he moaned. The donkey just kept on going toward the cliff. "Oh no. . . Bible! Church! Please stop!" shouted the man. The donkey was trotting faster and faster and getting closer and closer to the edge of the cliff. Finally, in desparation, the man said a prayer. "Please, dear Lord! Please make this donkey stop before we both go off the end of this mountain! In Jesus name I pray, Amen!"
The donkey came to an uprupt stop, just one step from the edge of the cliff.
"Hallelujah!", shouted the man. . . . (ooops!)
