A Special Ride | 一次特别的兜风

English Original

It was the day after Christmas at a church in San Francisco. The pastor was checking the nativity scene when he noticed the figure of baby Jesus was missing. He hurried outside and saw a little boy pulling a red wagon, with the infant Jesus figure inside.

He approached the boy and asked, "Where did you get Him, my friend?"

The boy replied, "From the church."

"And why did you take him?"

The boy explained, "About a week before Christmas, I prayed to the little Lord Jesus. I promised Him that if He brought me a red wagon for Christmas, I would give Him a ride around the block in it."


中文翻译

圣诞节次日,在旧金山的一座教堂里,牧师正在查看马槽场景,却发现婴儿耶稣的雕像不见了。他急忙走到外面,看见一个小男孩正拉着一辆红色玩具车,车里正是那尊小耶稣像。

他走上前去问男孩:“我的朋友,你从哪里得到他的?”

男孩回答:“从教堂里。”

“那你为什么要带走他呢?”

男孩解释道:“圣诞节前一周左右,我向小耶稣祈祷。我向他承诺,如果他在圣诞节送我一辆红色玩具车,我就用这辆车带他绕着街区兜一圈。”
