When Jesus Christ was a very young boy of 8 or 9 years, he did all the things other boys of his age did. He played with his toys and ran with his friends. But like most little boys that age, he really wanted a puppy.
He begged Joseph to let him have one but Joseph said he wasn't ready for the responsibility.
Jesus continued to beg and beg and promised to be responsible. And then one day Joseph came home with a puppy and Jesus was so happy.
"Now Jesus, this dog is your responsibility,” said Joseph.
"Yes, I know,” said Jesus.
"You need to feed him every day."
"I will,” said Jesus.
"Now Jesus, this dog is your responsibility,” said Joseph.
"Yes, I know,” said Jesus.
"You need to feed him every day."
"I will,” said Jesus.
"You need to brush him every day"
"I will,” said Jesus.
“And you need to make sure he gets lots of exercise every day."
“I promise,” said Jesus.
"I will,” said Jesus.
“And you need to make sure he gets lots of exercise every day."
“I promise,” said Jesus.
The very next day Joseph comes home from a long day of carpentry and heard Jesus crying in his room. He saw the boy sitting there holding a leash eyes full of tears and no puppy to be found.
"Jesus, what's wrong? Where is your dog?" said Joseph.
"Jesus, what's wrong? Where is your dog?" said Joseph.
Between heaving sobs, Jesus said, "He...he...died."
Joseph was shocked. "Died!? It's only been a day. Did you feed the dog?"
"Y..Y..Yes."
"Did you brush him?"
"Y...Y..yes."
Joseph was shocked. "Died!? It's only been a day. Did you feed the dog?"
"Y..Y..Yes."
"Did you brush him?"
"Y...Y..yes."
“Did you give him exercise?"
"Y...Y..Yes. That's how he died."
"How did that kill him?"
"I...I..took him on a long walk and he drowned."
"Y...Y..Yes. That's how he died."
"How did that kill him?"
"I...I..took him on a long walk and he drowned."
