　　：錯過的祝福時

　　A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

　　As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

　　Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

　　When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words... "PAID IN FULL".

　　How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

　　Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened. 。

　　從前，有位年輕人即將大學生畢業。數月來，他一直渴望得到某汽車商產品陳列室中的一輛跑車。他知道，他那富有的父親肯定買得起這輛車，於是，他便跟父親說他很想得到那輛漂亮的跑車。

　　在畢業典禮即將來臨的日子裡，年輕人等待著父親買下跑車的訊息。終於，在畢業典禮那天上午，父親將他叫到自己的書房，並告訴他，有他這麼出色的兒子自己感到非常自豪而且非常愛他這個兒子。接著，父親遞給兒子一個包裝精美的禮品盒。年輕人感到好奇，但帶著些許失望地開啟禮品盒，卻發現裡面是一本精美的精裝本《聖經》，上面以金子凸印著年輕人的名字。看罷，年輕人怒氣衝衝地向父親大喊道：“你有那麼多錢，卻只給我一本《聖經》?”說完，便丟下《聖經》，憤怒地衝出房子。

　　多年以後，年輕人已事業有成。他擁有一所漂亮的房子，一個溫馨的家庭。但當得知父親年事已高，他想，或許應該去看看他。自從畢業那天起他就一直不見父親。就在起程時，他收到一封電報--父親已逝世，並已立下遺囑將其所有財產轉給兒子。他要立即回父親家處理後事。

　　在父親的房子裡，他突然內心感到一陣悲傷與懊悔。他開始仔細搜尋父親的重要檔案，突然發現了那本《聖經》--還跟幾年前一樣嶄新。他噙著淚水開啟《聖經》並一頁一頁地閱讀著。忽然，從書的背面掉出一把鑰匙。鑰匙上掛著一個標籤，上面寫著一個汽車經銷商的名字--正是他曾渴望的那輛跑車的經銷商。標籤上還有他的畢業日期及“款已付清”的字樣。

　　我們多少次地與祝福擦肩而過，僅僅因為他們沒有按我們想象中的樣子包裝好?不要在渴望得到沒有的東西時損壞你已經擁有的東西，但要記住一點：你現在所擁有的恰恰正是你曾經一心渴望得到的。

　　有時，我們並沒有意識到我們已經擁有或本該擁有的好運，僅僅因為它的外表與我們想象中的有所不同。其實，表面上看起來像是壞運氣的東西或許正是等待開啟的幸運之門

　　：你來決定

　　There was once a wise old woman who lived back in the hills. All the children used to come back and ask her questions. She always gave the right answers.

　　There was a naughty little boy among the children. One day he caught a tiny bird and held it in his cupped hands. Then he gathered his friends around. He said, "Let's trick the old woman. I'll ask her what I'm holding in my hands. Of course, she'll answer that I have a bird. Then I will ask her if the bird is living or dead. If she says the bird is dead, I'll open my hands and let the bird fly away. If she says the bird is alive, I'll quickly crush it and show her the dead bird. Either way, she'll be wrong."

　　The children agreed that this was a clever plan. Up the hill they went to the old woman's hut.

　　"Granny, we have a question for you," they all shouted.

　　"What's in my hands?" asked the little boy.

　　"Well, it must be a bird," replied the old woman.

　　"But is it living or dead?" demanded the excited boy.

　　The old woman thought for a moment and then replied, "It is as you will, my child."

　　從前，有一位博學的老婦人，她住在後山。過去所有的孩子都經常來找她問問題。她總是有求必應。

　　其中有一個調皮的小男孩。有一天，他抓到一隻小鳥，雙手捧住，然後把夥伴們叫到身邊，說：

　　“咱們去哄一下那個老太太。我要問她我手裡握著什麼東西。她肯定會回答說我握的是小鳥。然後，我問她小鳥是活的還是死的。如果她說鳥是死的，我就張開手讓小鳥飛走。如果她說小鳥是活的，我就馬上用勁一捏，讓她看到那隻死鳥。不管用什麼方法，她都說不對。”

　　孩子們都異口同聲的說這是一個聰明的計劃。他們爬上山，來到了老婦人的小屋。

　　“奶奶，我們要問您一個問題。”他們都大聲說道。

　　“我手裡是什麼東西?”那個小男孩問道。
