Feast on some short tales


Twenty Books of the Bible

1       Someone showed me this story and 
2       remarked that there are twenty books of the 
3       bible hidden here. He challenged me to 
4       find them. Sure enough they're all here. 
5       Still this thing's a lulu, kept me looking so
6       hard for the longest time. Some of you will
7       get bogged down with facts, others are hit
8       by them like they were some kind of
9       revelation or something. You may get in a
10      jam, especially since the names are not
11     capitalized and often leap the spaces
12     between the words. This makes it a real job
13     to find them but it'll provide a most
14     fascinating few minutes for you. Yes, there
15    
are some really easy ones to spot, but don't
16     get the big head 'cause truthfully you'll soon
17     figure that it would take most federal judges
18     and preachers numbers of hours to find
19     them all. I will admit that it usually takes a
20     minister to find one of them and that is not
21     uncommon, for there are to be loud
23     lamentations when it is pointed out. One 
24     lady says that when she is confronted with
25     puzzles like this she brews a cup of tea to
26     help her concentrate better, but then this
27     gal's a real pro! Verbs, nouns, all that stuff
28     are her thing. See how well you can
29     compete. Relax, there really are twenty 
30     names of bible books in this story. If you
31     fail to find them there's a penalty: you'll
32     have to go fly a kite, sit on a banana, hum
33     the battle hymn of republic, or hose a dog
34     (a mean one). Get to it! Have fun!!!
