A  climber  fell off a cliff, and as he tumbled down, he caught hold of a small branch wedged in the rock.

　　"HELP! IS THERE ANYBODY UP THERE?" he shouted.

　　A majestic voice boomed through the gorge:

　　"I will help you, my son, but first you must have faith in me."

　　"Yes, yes, I trust you!" cried the man.

　　"Let  go  of the branch," boomed the voice.

　　There was a long pause, and the man shouted up again, "IS THERE ANYONE ELSE UP THERE I COULD TALK TO?"
