Poor little Herbie. Since his birth, poor blind Herbie had never seen the light of day. One day at bedtime, his mother told him that the next day would be a very special one. If he prayed extra hard to Jesus, he’d be able to see when he woke up the next morning.

Eagerly, Herbie crouched down on his knees beside his bed and put his hands together. For hours, he prayed and prayed to Jesus.

The next morning Herbie’s mother came into his room and gently woke him from his sleep.

“Well Herbie, open your eyes and you’ll know that Jesus answered your prayers.”

Little Herbie slowly opened his eyes, only to cry out, “Mother! Mother! I STILL CAN’T SEE!”

“I know, dear,” said his mother. “APRIL FOOL!”
