有个人在沙漠中迷了路，他已经行走了两周。 一个大热天，他终于发现了一所传教士的房子。他又疲劳，又虚弱，朝那所房子爬去，在房前的台阶上，昏倒了。 传教士发现了他，并对他悉心照顾，直到他恢复健康。感觉身体好些了，他向传教士询问去最近的城镇的路怎么走，并想借用一下传教士的马。传教士说：“没问题，不过这匹马有点特殊，如果你想让它走，就要说‘感谢上帝’，如果想让它停下来，就得说‘阿门’。” 没太在意传教士说的话，他便回答说：“没问题，好吧。”跨上马后，他说了声：“感谢上帝”，马就启程了。后来，他又连续说了两声“感谢上帝” ，那匹马便飞快地跑了起来。他感到自己很勇敢，便又连续说了几声“感谢上帝”，马于是飞奔了起来。 不久，他突然发现前面是悬崖，他得赶快让马停下来。 他大喊道：“停.停下来! !!”可马还在继续向前跑。 后来，他终于想起了传教士的交代: “阿门！”他说道。 马在离悬崖只有4英寸的地方停了下来。他吓得躺到在马鞍上习惯性地说了一句“感谢上帝”。 等他意识到自己所犯的愚蠢错误时，一切都太晚了。 Thank God There is a guy who has lost his way，walking in the desert for about two weeks. One hot day, he sees the home of a missionary. Tired and weak, he crawls up to the house and collapses on the doorstep. The missionary finds him and nurses him back to health. Feeling better, the man asks the missionary for directions to the nearest town and borrows his horse. The missionary says, “Sure，but there is a special thing about this horse. You have to say 4 Thank God? to make it go and “Ameny to make it stop. ” Not paying much attention, the man says “Sure， OK.，’ So he gets on the horse and says, “Thank God. ” and the horse starts walking. Then he “Thank God，thank God,” and the house starts trotting. Feeling really brave， the man says，“Thank God, thank God，thank God, thank God, thank God. ” and the horse just takes off. Pretty soon he sees this cliff coming up and he’s doing everything he can to make the horse stop. “Stop，hold on!!!” the man cried，but the horse is still running. Finally he remembers，“Amen! !”he said. The horse stops four inches from the cliff. The man leans back in the saddle and says, “Thank God. ” Everything seems too late before he realizes his stupid mistake. |
