A girl brings her boyfriend home to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father, a business tycoon, to find out about the young man.\u00a0 He invites the boy to join him for green tea in his study.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“So what are your plans?” the father asks the boy.<\/span><\/div>\n
“I am a religious scholar and want to marry your daughter,” he replies.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“A scholar,” the father says. “Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, and to which she is accustomed?”<\/span><\/div>\n
“I will study,” the young man replies, “and God will provide for us.”<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?” asks the father.<\/span><\/div>\n
“I will concentrate on my studies,” the young man replies, “God will provide for us.”<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
“And children?” asks the father. “How will you support children?”<\/span><\/div>\n
“Don’t worry, sir, God will provide,” replies the boy.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the father questions him, the boy insists that God will provide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, the mother asks, “Well, how did it go?”<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

The father answers, “He has no job and no plans, but the good news is that he thinks I’m God.”<\/span><\/p>\n
