Once upon a time, there lived a man. His name was David. He had a wife and five children. He worked at a farm and grew fruit and vegetables. Once a thief came at night and stole David’s horses and sheep. So he became poor overnight.
The man’s wife, Hillary, was very clever and told her husband: ‘Don’t be upset. Everything will be OK. Just go to the town and study the Bible.’
David did it. He rented a tiny room in a house near the congregation and studied the Bible day and night.
In a few days a policeman came to the congregation and looked for David. He told that they had caught the thief and he returned everything he stole from David and other farmers.
And what happened to David? He came back to his farm, but went to the town every evening to study the Bible.
