and replied, lady, i came in here to eat, not fly.

这是保存在我的电脑里的哦

a brother like that

a friend of mine named paul received an automobile from his
brother as a christmas present. on christmas eve when paul
came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the
shiny new car, admiring it.

is this your car, mister? he said.

paul nodded. my brother gave it to me for christmas. the boy
was astounded. you mean your brother gave it to you and it
didn’t cost you nothing? boy, i wish . . . he hesitated.

of course paul knew what he was going to wish for. he was
going to wish he had a brother like that. but what the lad said
jarred paul all the way down to his heels.

i wish, the boy went on, that i could be a brother

like that.

paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he
added, would you like to take a ride in my car?

oh yes, id love that.

after a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said,
mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?

paul smiled a little. he thought he knew what the lad wanted.
he wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a
big automobile. but paul was wrong again. will you stop where
those two steps are? the boy asked.

he ran up the steps. then in a little while paul heard him
coming back, but he was not coming fast. he was carrying his
little crippled brother. he sat him down on the bottom step,
then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.

there she is, buddy, just like i told you upstairs. his brother
gave it to him for christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. and
some day im gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can
see for yourself all the pretty things in the christmas windows
that ive been trying to tell you about.

paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. the
shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three
of them began a memorable holiday ride. that christmas eve,
paul learned what jesus meant when he said: it is more
blessed to give . . .

哥哥的心愿

圣诞节时,保罗的哥哥送他一辆新 车.圣诞节当天,保罗离开办公室时,
一个男孩绕着那辆闪闪发亮的新车,十分赞叹地问：

先生,这是你的车?

保罗点点头：这是我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物.男孩满脸惊讶, 支支吾
吾地说：你是说这是你哥送的礼物,没花你一分钱?天哪,我真希望也
能……

保罗当然知道男孩他真想希望什么.他希望能有一个象那样的哥哥.但
是小男孩接下来说的话却 完全出乎了保罗的

意料.

我希望自己能成为送车给弟弟的哥哥.男孩继续说.

保罗惊愕地看着那男孩,冲口而出地说：你要不要坐我的车去兜风?

哦,当然好了,我太想坐了!

车开了一小段路后,那孩子转过头来,眼睛闪闪发亮, 对我说：先生,你
能不能把车子开到我家门前?

保罗微笑,他知道孩子想干什么.那 男孩必定是要向邻居炫耀,让大家知
道他坐了一部大轿车回家.但是这次保罗又猜错了.你能不能把车子 停
在那两个台阶前?男孩要求道.

男孩跑上了阶梯,过了一会儿保罗听到他回来了, 但动作似乎有些缓慢.
原来把他跛脚的弟弟带出来了,将他安置在第一个台阶上,紧紧地抱着
他 ,指着那辆新车.

只听那男孩告诉弟弟：你看,这就是我刚才在楼上对你说的那辆新车.这是保罗他哥哥送给他的哦!将来我也会送给你一辆像这样的车,到那
时候你就能自己去看那些在圣 诞节时,挂窗口上的漂亮饰品了,就象我
告诉过你的那样.

保罗走下车子,把跛脚男 孩抱到车子的前座.兴奋得满眼放光的哥哥也
爬上车子,坐在弟弟的身旁.就这样他们三人开始一次令人 难忘的假日
兜风.

那个圣诞夜,保罗才真正体会主耶稣所说的施比受更有福的道理.

a man came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years
old son waiting for him at the door. daddy, may i ask you a
question? yeah, sure, what is it? replied the man. daddy, how
much do you make an hour? if you must know, i make $$20 an
hour. oh, the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up,
he said, daddy, may i please borrow $$10 the father was furious,
if the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some
money to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed. the little boy
quietly went to his room and shut the door. after about an hour
or so, the man had calmed down. and started to think. maybe
there was something he really needed to buy with that $$10 and
he really didnt ask for money very often. the man went to the
door of the little boys room and opened the door.” are you
asleep, son? he asked. no daddy, replied the boy. ive been
thinking, maybe i was too hard on you earlier. said the man,
heres the $$10 you asked for. the little boy sat straight up,
smiling. oh, thank you daddy! he yelled. then, reaching under
his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. the man
seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry
again. the little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked
up at his father. why do you want more money? is you already
have some? the father asked. because i didnt have enough,
but now i do.”the little boy repiied, daddy , i have $$20 now. can
i buy an hour of your time? please come home early tomorrow.
i would like to have dinner with you.

little red riding hood

once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by
everyone who looked at her, but most of all by her
grandmother, and there was nothing that she would not have
given to the child. once she gave her a little riding hood of red
velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear
anything else; so she was always called little red riding hood.

one day her mother said to her: come, little red riding hood,
here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine; take them to your
grandmother, she is ill and weak, and they will do her good. set
out before it gets hot, and when you are going, walk nicely and
quietly and do not run off the path, or you may fall and break
the bottle, and then your grandmother will get nothing; and
when you go into her room, dont forget to say, good morning,
and dont peep into every corner before you do it.

i will take great care, said little red riding hood to her mother,
and gave her hand on it.

the grandmother lived out in the wood, half a league from the
village, and just as little red riding hood entered the wood, a
wolf met her. red riding hood did not know what a wicked
creature he was, and was not at all afraid of him.

good day, little red riding hood, said he.

thank you kindly, wolf.

whither away so early, little red riding hood?

to my grandmothers.

what have you got in your apron?

cake and wine; yesterday was baking-day, so poor sick
grandmother is to have something good, to make her stronger.

where does your grandmother live, little red riding hood?

a good quarter of a league farther on in the wood; her house
stands under the three large oak-trees, the nut-trees are just
below; you surely must know it, replied little red riding hood.

the wolf thought to himself: what a tender young creature!
what a nice plump mouthful - she will be better to eat than the
old woman. i must act craftily, so as to catch both.

so he walked for a short time by the side of little red riding
hood, and then he said: see, little red riding hood, how pretty
the flowers are about here - why do you not look round? i
believe, too, that you do not hear how sweetly the little birds
are singing; you walk gravely along as if you were going to
school, while everything else out here in the wood is merry.

little red riding hood raised her eyes, and when she saw the
sunbeams dancing here and there through the trees, and
pretty flowers growing everywhere, she thought: suppose i
take grandmother a fresh nosegay; that would please her too.
it is so early in the day that i shall still get there in good time.

so she ran from the path into the wood to look for flowers. and
whenever she had picked one, she fancied that she saw a still
prettier one farther on, and ran after it, and so got deeper and
deeper into the wood.

meanwhile the wolf ran straight to the grandmothers house
and knocked at the door.

who is there?

little red riding hood, replied the wolf. she is bringing cake and
wine; open the door.

lift the latch, called out the grandmother, i am too weak, and
cannot get up.

the wolf lifted the latch, the door sprang open, and without
saying a word he went straight to the grandmothers bed, and
devoured her. then he put on her clothes, dressed himself in
her cap, laid himself in bed and drew the curtains.

little red riding hood, however, had been running about picking
flowers, and when she had gathered so many that she could
carry no more, she remembered her grandmother, and set out
on the way to her.

she was surprised to find the cottage-door standing open, and
when she went into the room, she had such a strange feeling
that she said to herself: oh dear! how uneasy i feel today, and
at other times i like being with grandmother so much. she
called out: good morning, but received no answer; so she went
to the bed and drew back the curtains. there lay her
grandmother with her cap pulled far over her face, and looking
very strange.

oh! grandmother, she said, what big ears you have!

all the better to hear you with, my child, was the reply.

but, grandmother, what big eyes you have! she said.

all the better to see you with, my dear.

but, grandmother, what large hands you have!

all the better to hug you with.

oh! but, grandmother, what a terrible big mouth you have!

all the better to eat you with!

and scarcely had the wolf said this, than with one bound he
was out of bed and swallowed up red riding hood.

when the wolf had appeased his appetite, he lay down again in
the bed, fell asleep and began to snore very loud.

the huntsman was just passing the house, and thought to
himself: how the old woman is snoring! i must just see if she
wants anything. so he went into the room, and when he came
to the bed, he saw that the wolf was lying in it.

do i find you here, you old sinner! said he. i have long sought
you! but just as he was going to fire at him, it occurred to him
that the wolf might have devoured the grandmother, and that
she might still be saved, so he did not fire, but took a pair of
scissors, and began to cut open the stomach of the sleeping
wolf.

when he had made two snips, he saw the little red riding hood
shining, and then he made two snips more, and the little girl
sprang out, crying: ah, how frightened i have been! how dark it
was inside the wolf.

after that the aged grandmother came out alive also, but
scarcely able to breathe. red riding hood, however, quickly
fetched great stones with which they filled the wolfs belly, and
when he awoke, he wanted to run away, but the stones were so
heavy that he collapsed at once, and fell dead.

then all three were delighted. the huntsman drew off the wolfs
skin and went home with it; the grandmother ate the cake and
drank the wine which red riding hood had brought, and revived.
but red riding hood thought to herself: as long as i live, i will
never leave the path by myself to run into the wood, when my
mother has forbidden me to do so.

it is also related that once, when red riding hood was again
taking cakes to the old grandmother, another wolf spoke to her,
and tried to entice her from the path. red riding hood, however,
was on her guard, and went straight forward on her way, and
told her grandmother that she had met the wolf, and that he
had said good morning to her, but with such a wicked look in
his eyes, that if they had not been on the public road she was
certain he would have eaten her up.

well, said the grandmother, we will shut the door, so that he
can not come in.

soon afterwards the wolf knocked, and cried: open the door,
grandmother, i am little red riding hood, and am bringing you
some cakes.
