It was at the closing program of Vacation Bible School.
All the children had been brought up front to sing some of the songs they had learned during the week.
As fate would have it, the loudest four-year-old girl was positioned the closest to the microphone.
She belted out the song after song to the pleasure and slight amusement of the gathered adults until she came to the song, "Deep and Wide."
On that song, her motions were correct, her tone was sincere, but the entire congregation roared with laughter as they listened
to her new lyrics to this old song:
"Deep and wide, deep and wide, There's a fat man floating deep and wide."
