English Original
A minister, short on time and unable to find a metered parking space, parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city. He left a note under the windshield wiper that read: "I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses."
When he returned, he found a parking citation from a police officer along with a note that replied: "I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation."

一位牧师因时间紧迫,又找不到计时停车位,便将车停在了一个大城市的禁停区。他在挡风玻璃雨刷下留了一张纸条,上面写着:“我已绕这个街区10圈了。如果我不把车停在这里,就会错过我的预约。请宽恕我们的过错。”
当他回来时,发现一张警察开的罚单,旁边还附有一张纸条回复道:“我在这条街巡逻了10年。如果我不给你开罚单,我就会丢掉工作。请勿引我入歧途。”
