Maybe this is (almost) the right time but maybe it is not the right place but it is certainly correct reasoning !
A young Italian child of about 8 years old asked his parents a bicycle for Saint Nicholas.
The father answered, we are Italians, we ask directly to the highest person, Dio. But there is a condition, you will have to promise you will be a good child for the whole year !
So, the little child wrote a nice letter to the little Dio, Gesù. Dear Dio Gesù, I will be a good child for a whole month, you bring me a than bicycle, please ?
The child got a respond back. NO !
The little child not understood what it wrote wrong, thought a little the things over and came to a conclusion.
So, the little child wrote again a letter to little Dio, Gesù. Dear Gesù, I will be a good child for a whole week, you bring me a bicycle ?
The child got a respond back. NO !
The little child understood even less ! It looked around in the room and saw the statue of mother Maria on the cupboard. It took the statue and putted it in the cupboard and closed it with the key.
So, the little child wrote again. Gesù, if you ever want to see your mother back you bring me a bicycle, now !
