Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him on the seventh day, resting.
He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through
the clouds : "Look Michael, look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God raving, "and I've put LIFE
on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of
balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example,
North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while South
America is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot
spot and Russia will be a cold spot.
Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a
continent of black people,"
God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be
extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in
ice.
I'll have lush forests over there and deserts down there"
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a small landmass
and said "What's that one?"
"Ah," said God. "I'm Glad you asked. That's Belgium! The
most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, streams
and hills.
The people from Belgium are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous
and they're going to be found travelling the world.
They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they
will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace.
Best of all i'm giving them the very best of food and drinks"
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What
about balance, God? You said there will be balance!"
God replied with a cheeky grin "Wait until you see the wankers I'm
putting next to them in Holland." |
