A man bought a donkey from a preacher. 
The preacher told the man that 
this donkey had been trained in a very unique way 
(being the donkey of a preacher). 
The only way to make the donkey go 
was to say, "Hallelujah!" 
The only way to make the donkey stop was to say, "Amen!" 
The man was pleased with his purchase and immediately got on the 
animal to try out the preacher's instructions. 
"Hallelujah!" shouted the man. The donkey began to trot. "Amen!" 
shouted the man. The donkey stopped immediately. 
"This is great!" said the man. With a "Hallelujah" he rode off, very 
proud of his new purchase. 
The man traveled for a long time through the mountains. As he headed 
towards a cliff, he tried to remember the word to make the donkey 
stop. "Stop," said the man. "Halt!" he cried. The donkey just kept going. 
"Oh, no..." 
"Bible...Church!...Please! Stop!!" shouted the man. The donkey just 
began to trot faster. He was getting closer and closer to the edge 
of the cliff. 
Finally, in desperation, the man said a prayer: "Please, dear Lord. 
Please make this donkey stop before I go off the end of this 
mountain. In Jesus' name, AMEN." 
The donkey came to an abrupt stop just one step from the edge of the 
cliff. "HALLELUJAH!" shouted the man.
