A Good Listener

There once was a man who had nothing for his family to eat.
He had an old shotgun and three bullets. So, he decided that
he would go out and kill something for dinner. As he went
down the road, he saw a rabbit and he shot at the rabbit and
missed it. Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel
and missed it. As he went further, he saw a wild turkey in the
tree and he had only one bullet, but a voice came to him and
said "pray first, aim high and stay focused." However, at the
same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill. He brought
the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattle
snake between his legs about to bite him-so he naturally brought  the gun down further to shoot the rattle snake. Still, the voice said again to him, "I said 'pray, aim high and stay focused." So, the man decided to listen to the voice. He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey. The bullet  bounced off the turkey and killed the deer. The handle fell off the gun and hit the snake in the head and killed it. And, when the gun had gone off, it knocked him into a pond. When he stood   to look around, he had fish in all his pockets, a dead deer and turkey to eat. The snake (Satan) was dead simply because the man listened to God.
