I Am Christian

I have heard and/or read 3 or 4 versions of this story. MAYBE one of them actually happened, maybe all 4 of them happened to 4 different people. Than again, MAYBE it's a fictional story to begin with, made up by some preacher to encourage people to read the Bible or some such. Anywho, to my recollection, here's that story:

A kid was about to graduate from High School. He told his parents, "I want this certain car for a graduation present." The kid graduated. His parents threw him a party. His graduation gift came in a box that a car wouldn't have fit in. He opened the box. In the box was a Bible. He got REALLY REALLY REALLY angry. He said something like, "I asked for a car, not a Bible!!!, GRRR GRRRR, Wah, throw in 3 or so swear words" He threw the Bible down and stomped out and didn't talk to his parents for years after that. Several years later, his father died. The now 30ish year old man went to his father's funereal. After the ceremony, he was looking through his stuff from when he was a kid. He found that aforementioned Bible. He leafed through it. In the back he found (different versions of the story vary on exactly on what he found there but here are the 3 choices): The keys to the aforementioned car, a check for the exact amount that car would have cost, and the title to that car.
