Two young imps

[Guest]

There were two young lads who were forever getting into mischief.Davie and Bob were always into something and their poor parents Hammish and Prudence McNab were at a loss as to what they could do.
They were forever hearing from this neighbor or that.The school and even their Boys Brigade leader.It was getting so Prudence was afraid to open the door,and poor Hammish had to change his local 6 times.
They finally decided to ask the Minister for advice.The Minister thought he had just the thing and asked to speak to the lads separetly.
Davie was informed he was to go along to the Manse right after school the next day and see the Reverend.The boys decided this must be serious and so Davie headed of to see the Minister after school.
The housekeeper upon opening the door and seeing who it was jumped back out of reach just in case.But wee Davie didn't have any tricks up his sleeve for her this day.He was shown into the Ministers study and stood in front of the good man waiting to see what all this was about.The Minister thought he should remind the boys that though their Mum and Da could not always be with them to watch what they were doing God would know.So he asked Davie."Where is God?"Davie just stared at him.He asked again louder this time incase the wee lad was hard of hearing."Where is God?"Again the blank stare.So he asked once more louder and while pointing right at Davie."Where Is God?"
Well Davie about turned and was out of there in a shot.Down Street and up the close till he got to his own wee door.He was in and straight to his room before his Mum or Da could ask what the Minister had said.There was Bob sitting on his bed waiting for his turn to be brought before the minister.
"We're really in trouble this time ."Davie shouted at Bob."What are you talking about.We haven't been up to anything since we loosened the wheel on the grocers fruit barrel last week."said wee Bob."Oh we're in trouble alright."shouted Davie."Someone has stolen God and they're blaming us."
