The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.



Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the ailments, and to store his few possessions.



One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, and soon there was nothing left. The worst had happened, and everything was lost.
He was stunned with disbelief,grief, and anger. "God, how could you do this to me?" he cried.



Early the next day he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.



"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
