One fine Sunday, a farmer rode up to church in his horse. He tied the horse to the post and lovingly patted it before he went into church. After the service was finished, he stayed a bit longer and prayed to God that he give the farmer another horse just like the one he had.
While he was praying, a thief stole his horse.
When the farmer came out of the church he saw that his horse was gone. Quickly he went back into the church. Now, he had a new prayer. He fervently asked God,
"Please grant me only one wish. I do not want a second horse, just return to me the favorite and only one I had. He was the best horse in the world."
The moral: Guard what you have, and do not pray beyond your Needs.
