Title: a man of faith



there was a man in a village next to to were a water block was. this man had put everything he had into his faith. one day the water block was breaking and the neighbor of the man came to his hut and said " you must leave your house, the water block is breaking" the man of faith replied "no. i beleive in god, he will save me" and went back to praying. a few minutes later his other neighbor came on a camel with another tied to his. "come with me" he said "i have camels and will be able to get away from the village" the man of faith said "no. i beleive in god, he will save me" and continued his praying. the water block started leaking heavily forcing the man of faith to go on his roof. some men in a boat a boat came by "hey, jump in our boat and we'll row you to safety" the man of faith repleid "no. i beleive in go, he will save me." and continued praying.

the flood drowned the man of faith but because of his faith in god he was sent to heaven. when he got to heaven he saw god and said "god, why did you not save me. i beleived in you and put all my faith in you" god looked at the man of faith and repleid " i sent you the man to warn you, the camel, and the boat. why did you not take them"

i am not a religious man but i think this story is very important
