大家都知道圣彼得头顶几乎是全秃的，只有前面额头上垂下一绺头发。但这是为什么呢？大部分人不知道答案。下面的故事会告诉你。 一次，圣彼得和基督外出。他们来到一个农家，农妇正在油锅里烙制发酵大煎饼. 圣彼得进屋讨要一些煎饼，基督在外面等着。农妇很善良，给了彼得三张刚出锅的煎饼。但彼得是个自私的人，为了能在分煎饼时多得一些，他迅速把一张煎饼藏进帽里，又连忙把帽子戴在头上，假装自己只讨来两张煎饼，所以只分给了基督一张。 藏在帽下的煎饼依然很烫，它火辣辣地灼烧圣彼得的头顶，但他没有办法,只有强忍着剧痛。 后来，圣彼得摘下帽子时，他发现热煎饼已经将他头上大部分地方都烫秃了。从那以后，秃顶就一直伴随着他。在这件事中，只有圣彼得帽前露出来的一绺头发幸存下来，所以他的秃顶前面留有一绺头发。 How Saint Peter Lost His Hair? Everyone knows that Saint Peter is entirely bald， except for a single lock of hair in front that falls over his forehead, but most people do not know the following story that explains how this came to be. While he and Christ were traveling together they came to a farmhouse where the farmwife was just cooking up some large yeast pancakes in grease. Saint Peter entered the house to beg for some pancakes, while the Lord waited outside. The farm¬wife was a good-hearted woman, and she gave Peter three pancakes, fresh from the pan. But Peter was selfish, and in order to gain an advantage when the pancakes were divided up, he quickly hid one of them in his cap, then put it on his head. He pretended that he had received only two pancakes, one of which he gave to the Lord. The pancake under his cap was still hot, and it began to burn Peter terribly on the head, but he could not do anything about it； he just had to bear the pain. Later, when he took off his cap, he discovered that the hot pancake had burned into his head a large bald spot, which remained with him as long as he lived. Only the lock of hair that had protruded from the front of his cap was spared. Thus Saint Peter's bald head has one lock of hair in front. |
