孩子的祈祷

Children's Prayer

Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents' house. At bedtime, the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers, when the younger one began praying at the top of his lungs: "I pray for a bicycle. I pray for a new toy."

两个小男孩在祖父母家过夜。睡觉的时候，两个小男孩跪在床边开始祈祷，这时小一些的孩子扯开嗓子大声喊道：“我祈求得到一辆自行车。我祈求有一个新玩具。”

His older brother leaned over, nudged him and said, "Why are you shouting your prayers? God isn't deaf."

他的哥哥靠过来，用肘轻碰他说：“你为什么这么大声喊叫呢？上帝又不是聋子。”

To which the little brother replied, "No, but Grandma is!"

弟弟回答说：“是的，但是奶奶听不到呀！”
