Grandpa and Grandma had quarreled and Grandma was so angry she would not speak to her husband.
The following day Grandpa had forgotten all about the quarrel, but Grandma continued to ignore him and still wouldn't speak. Nothing Grandpa did seemed to succeed in pulling her out of her sullen silence.
Finally he started rummaging in cupboards and drawers. After this had gone on for a few minutes, Grandma could stand it no longer. "What on earth are you looking for?" she demanded angrily.
"Praise be to God, I've found it," said Grandpa with a sly smile. "Your voice!"
If it is God you are looking for, look somewhere else.
