"No, God will protect me." The puddles started getting bigger. Soon they all touched. His neighbor said, "I'll give you a ride out." "No, God will protect me." Soon he was on the roof of his house and the water kept rising. A man on a boat came by and offered to rescue him. "No, God will protect me." He was at the very peak of the roof when a helicopter arrived. "No, God will protect me." And he drowned. Later, he asked God, "why didn't you save me?" God said, "what else did you need? I gave you a wife to warn you, a neighbor to give you a ride, a boat and a helicopter?"
