    Saskatchewan
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six
 days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found Him, resting on the
 seventh day. He inquired of God, 'Where have You been?'
       
 God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed
 downwards through the clouds, 'Look Michael,  look what I've made!'
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and asked, 'What is it?'
'It's a planet,' replied God, and I've put life on it.
I'm going to call it Earth, and it's going to be a place of great balance.
       
'Balance?' inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, 'For example,
Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while
southern Europe is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a
hotspot.
And over there I've placed a continent of white people, while over
here is a continent of black  people,' God continued, pointing to
different countries. 'This one will be extremely hot and arid
while this one will be very cold and covered in ice.'
The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large
land mass and said, 'What's that one?'
'Ah,' said God. 'That's Saskatchewan, the most glorious place on
earth. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, skies, sunsets and rolling hills. The
people from Saskatchewan are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous,
and they are going to be found traveling the world.
They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving,
and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of
peace.'
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed,
'What about balance, God? You said there would be balance!'
God replied wisely, 'Wait until you see the dingbats I'm putting
around them in Alberta, Manitoba & the U.S.
Only someone who has grown up inSaskatchewan will send this on.
