Nicholas walked up the steps toward the front door. He noticed that the lawn was getting long and needed mowing. He had not seen his neighbor Mabel for a while and was beginning to worry that something was wrong. He rang the doorbell. The door opened and a smile came to Nicholas's face. It was the Creator.
" Hello Nicholas".
" Hi" he replied. " I came over because I was worried about Mabel".
" That's great" he said with a smile. " Nothing is more important than relationships". " Can you trim the lawn while I mow?".
" Sure".
The Creator opened the garage door. He got the mower out and began to fill it with gasoline. " Nicholas, how do you feel about relationships?".
" I try to have a good relationship with everyone".
" Good" he said as he handed Nicholas the electric trimmer. " Relationships must be given the highest of values".
" Ok".
" I created you for relationships".
