And on the sixth day, the Lord turned to the
Archangel Gabriel and said to him, "Today,
I'm going to create a land called 'Canada'.
It will be a land of outstanding natural
beauty, with tall majestic mountains full
of mountain goats and eagles, beautifully
sparkly lakes bountiful with carp and trout,
forests full of elk and moose, high cliffs
overlooking sandy beaches and with an
abundance of sea life in the oceans off the
coasts, and powerful rivers stocked with
salmon."
And the Lord continued, "I shall also make
the land rich in oil and gas, and in gold,
silver, copper and other ores so to make the
inhabitants prosper. I shall name these
inhabitants 'Canadians', and they shall be
forever known as the friendliest people on
the face of the Earth."
"But Lord," asked Gabriel, "don't you think
you're being too generous to these 'Canadians'?"
"Not really," replied the Lord, "just wait and
see the neighbors I'm going to give them." |
