Saying a Prayer for His Christmas Meal
聖誕節晚宴上的`餐前禱告
Lee, A seven-year-old boy, was asked to say thanks for the Christmas
dinner. The family members bowed their heads in expectation. Lee began his
prayer, thanking God for his Mommy, Daddy, brothers, sister, Grandma, and all
his aunts and uncles. Then he began to thank God for the food.
有個小男孩叫Lee,
今年七歲,聖誕節晚餐開桌前,家人讓他做餐前禱告。家人都帶著期待的申請低頭看著他,Lee開始做他得禱告,首先,他謝謝上帝賜予他爸爸媽媽,哥哥姐姐誒,奶奶還有他們家的所有叔叔嬸嬸。然後,他開始感謝上帝賜予他得聖誕節晚餐了。
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?"
他感謝上帝賜予他火雞,餡兒餅,聖誕布丁和紅莓醬。然後Lee停下來了
,大家等啊等啊。。。。Lee沉默了很長時間,然後抬起頭看著他媽媽說:“媽媽,如果我感謝上帝賜予我甘藍菜,他會知道我在撒謊嗎?”
注:國外很多小孩子都不喜歡吃甘藍菜,看《絕望主婦》裡面Lynette家的雙胞胎就非常討厭吃甘藍菜,請了保姆後還拿這個來做實驗,看看她們家保姆有沒有魅力讓兩個小鬼頭把甘藍菜吃下去。
