Please Don't Wake Daddy Up!
A man was giving his testimony at one of those old Salvation
Army open-air street meetings.
As he was testifying, a heckler in the crowd yelled" "why don't
you sit down and shut up......... You're just dreamin'!"
Immediately that heckler felt a tug on his coat. He looked down
to see a little girl, who said: "Sir, May I speak to you?
That man who is talking up there is my Daddy. Daddy used
to be a drunkard. He used to spend all the money that he made
on whiskey. My Mother was very sad and would cry most of
the time, "Sometimes, when my Daddy came home, he would hit
my Mother. I didn't have shoes or a nice dress to wear to
school. But look at my shoes.....,,,,, and see this pretty dress?
My Daddy bought these for me." But the little girl was'nt
through with the heckler yet. "See my Mother over there? She's
the one with the bright smile on her face. She's happy now. She
sings even when she's ironing............."
Then the little girl said:
"Mister, if my Daddy is dreaming......,,, Please don't wake him
up."
