One day a big
ship wrecked near a small island. The only survivor of the shipwreck washed up
on a small, empty island. He prayed for God to rescue him, and very day he
watched the horizon for help, but no one seemed coming. He built a little hut
out of driftwood to protect him from the bad weather and to keep his few
possessions. One day, after looking for food, he arrived home to find his
little hut on fire, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The bad thing had
happened; he lost everything. He was very sad. "God, how could you do this
to me!" he cried.
Early the next day, however, he
was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had
come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary
man to his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. The
man thanked God for that.
