FOR THE…….. AleixJoao and his wife (Paulin) were in theirdeep sleep. There was a knock on their door. AleixJoao rolls over and looks at the clock:-
AleixJoao: (Murmurs) It’s half-past two in the morning. I am not gettingout of bed at this time (rolls over). Then, a louder knock follows: Paulin: Aren’t you going to answer that? AleixJoao drags himself out of bed and goes downstairs. He opens the doorand there was a drunk man Stranger,standing at the door: Stranger: (Slurs) Hi there. Can you give me a push? AleixJoao: What? Do you know what time it is? Go get lost. (slams the door). AleixJoao goes back up to his bed and tells Paulin what happened: Paulin: AleixJoao,that wasn’t nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouringrain on the way to pick the kids up from the baby-sitter and you had toknock on that man’s door to get us started again? What would havehappened if he had told us to get lost? AleixJoao: But this guy is drunk. Paulin: Itdoesn’t matter, He needs our help, and as a true Christian we have to helphim. So, AleixJoaoagain goes to downstairs, opens the door and not being able to see thedrunk man: AleixJoao: (Shouts) Hey, do you still want a push? Stranger: (From far) Yeah please. AleixJoao, still being unable to see the Stranger, so he shouts back: AleixJoao: Where are you? Stranger: I am over here on the swing!!! AleixJoao goes to the Strangerand saw the Drunk Man is seating on the swing and waiting for the PUSH. Cajetan de Sanvordem Kuwait.
