Once upon a time, an amazing incident happened on Swedish television: one person told why his conscience was tormenting him: “When I was little, my friend and I decided to parachute a hamster from the balcony of a high-rise building. We made a basket, a parachute, put a hamster in the basket and released it. But the unexpected happened. A gust of wind picked up our parachute and carried us somewhere far away. I still can’t forget about it. How could I do this?
Suddenly the phone rang in the studio. The caller asked: “Did this happen in such and such a year?” The man answered in the affirmative. “In the summer, when was the Stockholm city festival?” “Yes, yes, yes,” the man hurried. «I know what happened to your hamster.» “What happened to him?” — the surprised studio guest couldn’t believe his ears.
“My daughter has been asking me for a hamster for a long time,” the woman continued. “I once answered her: don’t even ask.” We will have a hamster only if God himself gives it to you.” The girl raised her hands to the sky like a child and said: “Daddy God, give me a hamster!” — and after that we went to the city for a holiday. Suddenly my daughter says: “Mommy, it seems to me that God answered the prayer! Look!»
And right from the sky on a parachute a hamster in a basket fell into her hands.
