GOD WILL PROVIDE

A young woman brings home her

fiancè to meet her parents.

After dinner, her mother tells her father

to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancè to his study for a drink.

"So what are your plans?"

the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he replies.

"A Torah scholar.  Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to

provide a nice house for my daughter to live in,

as she's accustomed to?"

"I will study,"

the young man replies,

"and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a

beautiful engagement ring,

such as she deserves?"

asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies,"

the young man replies,

"and God will provide for us."

"And children?"

asks the father.

"How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir. 

God will provide,"

replies the fiancè.

The conversation proceeds like this

and each time the father

questions the young idealist

insists that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks,

"How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers,

"He has no job and no plans,

but the good news is

he thinks I'm God.
