A Child's Prayer | 孩童的祈祷

English Original

As John and his five-year-old son were on their way to McDonald's, they passed a car accident. Usually, when they witnessed something distressing like that, they would say a prayer for those who might be hurt. So John pointed and said to his son, "We should pray."

From the back seat, John heard his son's earnest request: "Please, God, don't let those cars block the entrance to McDonald's."


中文翻译

一天,约翰和他五岁的儿子在前往麦当劳的路上,经过了一起车祸。通常,当他们看到这类令人不安的事情时,都会为可能受伤的人祈祷。于是,约翰指着车祸现场对儿子说:“我们应该祈祷。”

从后座,约翰听到了儿子诚挚的请求:“求求您,上帝,别让那些车堵住麦当劳的入口。”
