Mike And Mooney's Intense Competition

Once upon a time in a huge metropolis called Danville, Va. there lived 2 boys named Mike and Mooney. They were both always trying to compete against each other in order to see who was the best at doing everything. They enjoyed challenging each other on difficult spelling words such as dachshund and Fahrenheit. They were also quite fast runners and were constantly having races to determine who the fastest runner was. Everything they did was a competition. That gave them great incentive to always strive towards being the best. Each body wanted to be the goat at everything they tried, (that's the Greatest Of All Time). The problem was sometimes they would get so competitive that they'd do anything to beet the other.

Since they were both 10 years-old, being the best was at the top of their list for everything they attempted and coinsidently, they were both in the same class at school, that's with Mr. Jackson. He loved having those 2 striving to be the best in the class and so he encour- aged them to keep it up. Friendly competition was a good thing.

Sometimes they'd spend a Friday night at each others house. That meant they could stay up really late challenging each other on hard spelling-words and difficult math problems. When they'd wake up in the morning, they'd still be trying to beet the other at the latest task.

Mike was always the best at singing and speaking into microphones whereas Mooney was generally better at learning astrology such as the, "Moon." Since they stryved to be the best it made them both try hard to beet the other but they were good friends so it was cool.

Then when they were walking to the 7-11 to buy some Slurpy's, a drunk driver veered off the road and headed straight for Mike. As Mooney yelled and pushed him out of the way, the driver ran over him. He laid there in the road, unconscious and bleeding profusely from everywhere. The crash knocked the car over. When the driver, who held 2 leeters of liquor in his hand, got out of the car, walked over to where Mooney was and said, "Hay! (Hiccup)! You better watch where, (Hiccup)! you're going! You almost, (Hiccup)! hit me, you stupid woman! (Hiccup)! You need a, (hiccup)! drink, but because you don't have one, I'll drink)! to that! Then again, I'll drink to anything, (hiccup)! I'll tell my friend, (hiccup)! Jack! His last name is Daniels! He'll make it, (hiccup)! 'Shine' On Harvest Moon! (hiccup)!"

"You idiot!" yelled Mooney ready to punch the driver's lights out, "Do you even know what you've just done? Yo have just killed my best-friend! I'll hate you forever! Are you aware of what you did? Now, you're a mennice to society! You are too drunk to be driving!"

"Oh, no, (hiccup)!" said the driver, "You got that, (hiccup)! wrong! I made a boo-boo, (hiccup)! and scratched my, (hiccup)! car! I'm not drunk! I'm just under, (hiccup)! the alcafluence of incahall! I'm just too drunk to be, (Hiccup)! walking! I had to drive! Sorry! Now, (hiccup)! that makes everything be, (hiccup)! all better! Don't it?"

About that time the police showed up. They saw the extremely irate expression on Mooney's face and the smile on the drunken man's face. After cuffing him he said, "Now, now come with me. We're going on a little ride to see the po-po people. Let's go."

Mooney hissed, "I'll never forgive you for what you've done to my best-friend! Never! May the devil come here and take your soul!"

He was so upset he didn't even go to Church, which was something that he never did. The pastor, Bishop David, called him since he 'd never missed a service in Church. When he heard about the drunk-driver who'd killed his best-friend, he said, "You must forgive that guy. The Word says, 'If you forgive others their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will forgiveth you.' Your best Friend forgave all those awful centurions for beating Him to a pulp and nailing Him to the Cross, so He wants us to do that. It isn't easy, but you must do it."

When the Bishop put it that way, a cold feeling traveled through Mooney's whole body. How could he forgive somebody who'd killed his buddy and wasn't even aware that he'd done anything wrong? That guy didn't deserve forgiveness. He's a murderer in his opinion.

The next day he was still praying for that stupid nerd who'd killed his best-friend, when the doorbell rang. When he answered it, his jaw hit the floor. It was Mooney standing there, smiling at him! He tried to speak but the only words he could say was, "Uh, uh, uh, uh,"

"Hay, pal!" said Mooney, when he realized Mike was in no mood for conversation, "What's the matter? Does the bat have your tongue? Now, you're the best shortstop in the entire league! The only, 'bunt' I ever saw you do was the time you made a cake in that kind of pan!"

"Bu, bu," stuttered Mike with his eyes so huge they looked like they would pop out of his face, "How, I mean why, what happened to you?"

Mooney said, "I had just floated across those Pearly Gates. I saw all my grandparents smiling at me. Then a bright Light spoke to me saying, 'I'm not finished with you yet, My child. Now, you've got a really awesome testimony for me. You must spread it to all those people who don't know Me yet. Tell them I love them all, even the drunk driver that hit your buddy. Forgive him like I forgave those Senturiens who beet Me and nailed me to that old, rugged Cross. I have taken all your sins so you could be perfect, without spot or blemish. I love the way you praise Me! Keep on doing that and you will have great treasures in Heaven! You're doing a terrific job so far!"

He extended His arms out, (yes, He has arms), and embraced Mike in a warm, love-filled hug. The next thing he was aware of, he was lying on the ground, people all around him and pain shooting through his entire body. Then an ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital. He blacked out at that point, although when he came to in the hospital and saw all those faces come running at him, his first emotion was anger that he'd been sent back to his planet because his work wasn't over yet, but that anger soon dissappeared when he realized that he was sent back for a purpose. That incident caused him to get the strong desire to attend Bible college at Bishop David's Church. After that out-of-body experience, it gave him such an aw-some testimony that he started his own Church, and he hadn't even spent a minute in, "semmitery school." (That's what he called it since all the studying he had to do almost put him in an early grave). Yet at least he wanted to learn. 2 years later he opened his own Church were he was the head bishop. Since he was the leader of it, there were girls flocking to him. One in particular took to his fancy. After dating a while, they got married. The following year they blessed the whole planet with a set of mixed-twins who grew up being really strong Christians like their parents were, and so like the best-written children's stories of all-time will officially finish up with,

"THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!!" The end.
