Once there was a God,
And once there was a fire,
God looked upon the fire,
Burning and searing,
And then there was a Man, who yelped,
“O God! Help! There is a fire!
God cried,
“Let there be water”, He said,
And Man received water,
But the man complained,
“O Lord, you are merciful,”
“But what good will water do? ”
“The fire belongs to a different Man,”
“A vile Man,”
“A foreign Man,”
“I want fire too!”
God laughed,
And then all Men received fire.
