* A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small，desert-like island。 Not knowing what else to do，the two survivors agreed that they had no other recourse than to pray to God However，to find out whose prayers were more powerful，they agree to divide the island and stay on opposite sides of the island The first thing they prayed for was food。The next morning，the first man saw a fruit bearing tree on his side of the island，and he was able to eat its fruit。But the other man’s side of land remained barren After a week，the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife。 The next day，another ship was wrecked and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of it’s land。But on the other side of the island，there was nothing Soon there after the first man prayed for a house，clothes and more food，the next day，like magic，all of the these things were given to him。However，the second man still had nothing Finally，the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island，and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island，considering the other man unworthy to receive God’s blessing since none of his prayers had been answered As the ship was about to leave，the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming ”Why are you leaving your friends on the island?” “My blessing is mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them” the first man answered “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn‘t deserve anything” *
