I got expelled anyway - well, asked not to come back for being too disruptive, which I suppose is the Sunday school equivalent, so I never actually had the choice.
The talking donkey might have made me pay attention though.
Not so miraculous. I can remember Mr Ed , the talking horse, and he was on TV.
But why this miracle ? There are plenty of others which are less credible, but this one is just the kind that would appeal to children; they are used to animals who talk, from the Alice stories to Disney
I was quite astute as a child (what happened, you may ask) and if they had told me that a donkey had suddenly started berating its owner I think I would have said OK, you just blew the whole religion thing for me. Bye.
My mates and I went to Sunday School to walk through the town on the annual "Walking Day". Dressed in our best togs we scrambled in the gutter for pennies thrown by the watching crowds. For this chance to acquire riches we would have believed anything. Dont remember the donkey bit though.
Craft,"Ratter, go away you are a non-believer, Sunday school was lush." I agree, I loved Sunday school until I found out about girls etc. I got numerous awards for good attendance etc, I even played in the Salvation Army band :-)
