God is Watching

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch.

At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.

The nun made a note, and posted it on the apple tray: “Take only ONE. God is watching.”

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table, was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

A child had written a note, “Take all you want.

God is watching the apples.”
