吉姆住在河边，他是个虔诚的教徒。 —天，河水泛滥，淹没了小镇，吉姆爬到了门廊顶上。一个人划船经过，看到他坐在屋顶上就让他上船。吉姆说不用了，我还好。上帝会来救我的。" 于是那个人划船走了。 水继续上涨，吉姆爬到了房顶上。 这时，又来了一只船，船上的人让他上船。吉姆回答："不用了，我还好。上帝会来救我的。”那只船也划走了。 水越涨越高,吉姆爬到了烟囱上。 这时来了架直升机，从飞机上放下一架梯子。上面的女士让他爬上梯子到飞机里来。吉姆告诉她:“我还好。"对方问他：“你真的没事?” 吉姆仍然坚持：“是的，上帝肯定会来救我的。” 最后，水涨了上来，把吉姆淹死了。吉姆到了天堂，当面质问上帝："你答应我会来救我的！究竟怎么回事?” 上帝回答：“啊？我派了两只小船和一架直升机去救你。你还想怎么样？" God and Jim There was a man called him Jim, who lived near a river. Jim was a very religious man. One day, the river rose over the banks and flooded the town, and Jim was forced to climb onto his porch roof. While sitting there, a man in a boat comes along and tells Jim to get in the boat with him. Jim says, " No, that，s ok. God will take care of me." So, the man in the boat drives off. The water rises, so Jim climbs onto his roof. At that time, another boat comes along and the person in that one tells Jim to get in. Jim replies, "No, that1 s ok. God will take care of me. •’ The person in the boat then leaves. The water rises even more, and Jim climbs on his chimney. Then a helicopter comes and lowers a ladder. The woman in the helicopter tells Jim to climb up the ladder and get in. Jim tells her “That，s ok." The woman says, " Are you sure?" Jim says, "Yeah, I’m sure God will take care of me.” Finally, the water rises too high and Jim drowns. Jim gets up to Heaven and is face-to-face with God. Jim says to God, "You told me you would take care of me! What happened?" God replied, "Well, I sent you two boats and a helicopter. What else did you want?” |
