The minister's little six-year-old girl had been
so naughty during the week, that her mother
decided to give her the worst kind of punishment.

She told her she couldn't go to the Sunday School
Picnic on Saturday.

When the day came, her mother felt she had been too harsh and changed her mind.

When she told the little girl she could go to the picnic,
the child's reaction was one of gloom and unhappiness.

“What's the matter? I thought you'd be glad to go to
the picnic.” her mother said.

“It's too late!” the little girl said. “I've already prayed for rain!”
