 A group of young boys had gone camping. In the evening, they were sitting outside their tent and talking about God and his blessings. "Well I believe God is not fair. Some are blessed more than others and the prayers of some are answered sooner than most others", said one of them, to which the others agreed. Their guide was around listening to the young boys talk. "It's time for an activity, gather around", said the guide. "Not far from here is a river. I want each one of you to get me some water from the river.
