  An old man decided to write a letter to God:

Dear God,

  I am nearing the end of my life.The doctors tell me I am dying of cancer and have a few months to live.In fact, as You know, throughout my entire life I’ve had nothing but bad luck.But no matter what You have inflicted(施加)on me, I have never lost my faith in You.

  In return for this loyalty(忠诚), I ask just one thing of you.Please prove Your existence to me by sending me$100 in cash, and I will die a happy man.

Yours insignificantly,

An Old Man

  The post office received the letter and all gathered around to read it.

Dear God,

  I thank You with all my heart for taking time from Your busy schedule and answering my request…I am now a happy man.

  JSC Boggs is an artist who makes money.To be exact,he draws money.In the United States he draws dollars,in Britain pounds and in France francs.Each are almost perfect reproductions,apart from the fact that he writes "Bank of Boggs" or another humorous message on them.
  When Boggs goes shopping or for a meal,he offers "Boggs dollars" in the payment for what he wants.He also offers real money.It is up to the people selling the goods to take whichever they prefer.
  When a shopkeeper or a restaurant owner takes a "Boggs dollar",he or she gives a receipt in return for the things bought.Boggs then sells the receipt at face value to art collectors.This is how he makes actual money for the times when people will not accept his drawings.
  The collector uses the receipt to find the person holding the actual "Boggs dollar" and the two talk over what they think would be a fair price.This gives the shop or restaurant owner the chance to make another profit on the goods he or she sold to Boggs.It means Boggs actually gets paid for buying things.And it means that the collector has a unique work of art---each "Boggs dollar" is separately drawn.
