有个小男孩叫Lee,今年七岁,圣诞节晚餐开桌前,家人让他做餐前祷告。家人都带着期待的申请低头看着他,Lee开始做他的祷告,首先,他谢谢上帝赐予他爸爸妈妈,哥哥姐姐,奶奶还有他们家的所有叔叔婶婶。然后,他开始感谢上帝赐予他的圣诞节晚餐了。
他感谢上帝赐予他火鸡,馅饼,圣诞布丁和红莓酱。然后Lee停下来了,大家等啊等啊……Lee沉默了很长时间,然后抬起头看着他妈妈说:“妈妈,如果我感谢上帝赐予我甘蓝菜,他会知道我在撒谎吗?” He gave thanks for the turkey, the stuffing, the Christmas pudding, even the cranberry sauce. Then lee paused, and everyone waited …… and waited. After a long silence, the young fellow looked up at his mother and asked, "If I thank God for the Brussels sprouts, won't he know that I'm lying?" |
