"Zero Won Two Three Passes For Herself

"Zero Won To Three" Presents, "For" Herself

Once upon a time in a huge metropolis called Danville, Va. there lived a 9 year-old girl named Zero. Her parents had named her that because they had high expectations for her to do many outstanding things which would help a lot of people when she grew up, so they wanted to pick a name that nobody else had for their daughters. Well, they succeeded. The only thing who had that name was the female ape in the movie, Planet Of The Apes. Her daddy's favorite line was when the guy said, "Do you have a name?" and she replied, "Zero." The man asked, "Does the other one talk? " to which the guy said, "Only when she lets me!" That was her mommy's favorite movie because she enjoyed way-out movies. Besides, they wanted her to have a name that nobody else had. Well, they definitely succeeded at the task since not too many people were called that.

Life was quite difficult for a girl named Zero. She was constantly getting teased and picked on because of that. It always lead to her either running off some- where in tears, or just punching their lights out. Yet if the latter happened, which is what all the guys loved to see because they had never seen a female who would be fighting somebody before. It was amusing to watch her punch, kick, bite, scratch, pull hair and do the things you'd expect a girl to do in a fight.

It reached the point where Zero could even break up fights between 2 big guys. That made all of the teachers in her school be happy since people seldom got sent to the principle's office for fighting because of it which meant none of the other kids in school would ever get into any fights thanks to her presence. Soon the only kind of fights that went on in the school were those which took place whenever she wasn't near by. The principle of the school gave her such an awesome bunch of praise for breaking up all those fights that even though she was failing in her classes, the teachers still passed her anyway for her good deeds. That meant there were never, "problems" in math, or in any other class.

When her principle heard that the number of fighting in that school had dropped so significantly since Zero had been going there, he insisted that all of her teachers would give her an A in their classes. Needless to say, they were all quite willing to give her all straight As in every class. That meant she was being contacted by the biggest colleges in the entire country including Harvard, U. N. C., Princeton and University Of Danville. When her low-class friends asked her, "Which school are you going to attend?" she told them, "Yale." Then they would say, "Oh, alright then. WHICH SCHOOL ARE YOU GOING TO ATTEND ??!!"

-------------------------------------------------

Then tragedy struck. While she was on her way back to the sorority from a party the school had sponsored, a drunk-driver veered off the road and hit her head-on. That completely totaled the new Mercedes Benz she had bought with the money she'd earned from all the quizzes she had won, not to mention the contests she had entered The Yale College-Knowledge Student Stand-Off. The wreck completely demolished her beautiful, extremely expensive car and almost killed her. She was in a coma for 6 days. The doctors told her family and friends that if she did wake up that she'd more then likely be a vegetable who was unable to communicate, walk, feed herself or even think like a normal college student. They called her parents who lived in Utah to come say their last farewells to their beautiful, exceptionally gifted daughter. That was really heartbreaking.

That's when a guy named Cuz heard about her predicament. Since he had a thing with the almighty One in Heaven, he was asked to pray for her. The Bishop of their Church, Bishop David, who was named after the greatest earthly king of all-time, and also slew Goliath, was called in to pray for her family's comfort. Yet none of them prayed for her healing because the doctors had all said there was no hope for her recovery. Bishop David held hands with her and they prayed in unison for the great Physician to use His mighty healing powers to touch her and heal her. Yet Cuz was the only one who really had faith in God's ability.

As they went home, some doctors said, "That was a beautiful prayer you just did, but what you asked for is not possible. She'll never function normally again."

That infuriated Cuz. "That's the lack of faith you have! I know God can heal her like He can heal my brain from my head-injury! Don't put Him in a box! That gal is a fighter, even though she never liked to, 'box!' 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the great evidence of things not seen!' Yee hath not because yee ask not!" He raised his hands Heavenward as if waiting for Somebody to reach down and meet them in the air. The others bowed their heads and pretended to pray, but they knew there was no way that girl would ever recover.

Later that night Cuz continued to pray for that girl. Just then he felt a great feeling of warmth come across his entire body. It was like being wrapped in an electric blanket on it's highest heat and made a smile of confidence go over that face so the praying picked up harder and full of faith for the great Physician.

When Cuz woke up the next morning, still with Zero in mind, he began praying some more for her. That continued to be on his mind at work. When somebody there overheard him mention her name, they said, "You're wasting your time by praying for that girl. Now she'll never function normally again, even if she does wake up, which won't happen. Forget about her and pray for somebody else."

Cuz kept praying, then prayed in the Spirit since God would understand. He went to bed feeling confident that his, "effective, fervent prayer would availeth much," like it says in the Word, but everybody just nodded and continued on.

The next day Bishop David came over to say he was going to the hospital and wanted Cuz to go with him. When they walked into Zero's room, the nurse had her mouth wide open. When Cuz said, "Now, you'd better close your mouth before a fly bugs in it! I mean, a bug flies in it or something bigger!" They couldn't talk. All they did was point at the bed. Zero was sitting up with her legs hanging over the side. Cuz was the only one who could talk saying, "Welcome back, Zero! We missed you! Now, did you have a nice trip? If not, I will just see you in the, 'fall!' Although it looks like you're just about ready to 'spring' out of this hospital!"

"I don't know," said Zero while rubbing her eyes and looking extremely con- fused about what had been going on with her, "Where am I? What happened?"

The nurse told her everything, concluding with she didn't understand how she came to. Cuz just smiled, knowing the greatest Doctor of all-time did Hid stuff.

As Zero grew up, she eventually graduated from college then met a man named Jack Write who by coincidence happened to be a best-selling author. After dating a while it was apparent that Mr. Write honestly was, "Mr. Right." They were soon married. Years later they had some children who were really stubborn and got their parent's, "goat" but the goat stood for, "Greatest Of All Time." Even though they spent mega, "bucks" which was heavy, "doe" for them which was mighty, "ba-a-a-a-a-ad," " butt," somehow they grew up being really nice, "kids." At any rate, like the best-written children's stories of all-time will officially finish up with,

"THEY All LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!!"
