English Original
There was a little old lady who, every morning, stepped onto her front porch, raised her arms to the sky, and shouted, "PRAISE THE LORD!"
One day, an atheist moved into the house next door. He became irritated by the little old lady's daily ritual. Every morning after her, he would step onto his front porch and yell, "THERE IS NO LORD!"
Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way every day.
One cold winter morning, the little old lady stepped out and shouted, "PRAISE THE LORD! Please, Lord, I have no food and I am starving. Provide for me, oh Lord!"
The next morning, she stepped onto her porch and found two huge bags of groceries sitting there. "PRAISE THE LORD!" she cried out. "HE HAS PROVIDED GROCERIES FOR ME!"
At that moment, her atheist neighbor jumped out from the hedges and shouted, "HA! HA! THERE IS NO LORD! I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES!"
Undeterred, the little old lady threw her arms into the air and proclaimed, "PRAISE THE LORD! HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH GROCERIES AND MADE THE DEVIL PAY FOR THEM!"

有一位小老太太，每天早晨都会走到前廊，双臂举向天空，高喊：“赞美主！”
一天，一位无神论者搬进了隔壁的房子。他对老太太每日的仪式感到非常恼火。于是，每天早晨在她之后，他也会走到自己的前廊大喊：“根本没有主！”
日复一日，两人就这样持续着。
一个寒冷的冬日早晨，老太太走出来喊道：“赞美主！主啊，求求您，我没有食物，快要饿死了。请赐予我食物吧，哦，主啊！”
第二天早上，她走到门廊，发现那里放着两大袋食品杂货。“赞美主！”她喊道。“他为我提供了食物！”
就在这时，她的无神论者邻居从树篱后跳出来喊道：“哈！哈！根本没有主！那些东西是我买的！”
老太太不为所动，她双臂举向空中，宣告道：“赞美主！他不仅为我提供了食物，还让魔鬼付了钱！”
