The Tiger, The Man & God !

 
 
A man was being chased by a tiger.
He ran as hard as he could until he was at the edge of a cliff with the tiger in hot pursuit.
The man looked over the edge of the cliff and saw a branch growing out of the
Side of the cliff a few feet down.
He jumped down and grabbed the branch just as the tiger reached the cliff.
The tiger growled viciously as the man sighed a great sigh of relief.
 
 
Just then a mouse came out from a crevice and began to chew on the branch.
The man looked down to what was a drop of a thousand feet and sure death and
Looked to the heavens and yelled out, “ Dear God, if you are there, please help.
I will do anything you ask but Please Help.  ”
 
 
Suddenly a voice came booming down from heaven,
“ You will do anything I ask  " ?    it questioned.
 
 
The man shocked to hear a reply to his plea yelled back,
“ I will gladly do anything you ask, but please save me. ”
 
 
The voice from heaven then replied,
“ There is one way to save you but it will take courage and faith.  ”
 
 
The branch began to weaken from the mouse and the tiger was
Still growling a few feet above the man, “ Please, Lord, tell me
What I must do and I will do it.
Your will is my will. ”
 
 
The voice from heaven then said, “ All right then, let go of the branch.”
 
 
The man looked down to a fall of a thousand feet and certain death.
He looked up at the hungry tiger a few feet away and he looked at the
Mouse still chewing on the branch.
Then he looked up at the heavens and yelled,
“ Is There Anyone Else Up There  "  ?
