Talking on the Telephone | 电话里的对话

English Original

Each Sunday, the minister called the children to the front of the church to tell them a story. Once, he brought a telephone to better illustrate the idea of prayer.

"You talk to people on the telephone and don't see them on the other end, right?" he began. The children nodded. "Well, talking to God is like talking on the telephone. He's on the other end, but you can't see him. He is listening, though."

Just then, a little boy piped up and asked, "What's his number?"


中文翻译

每个星期天,牧师都会把孩子们叫到教堂前面,给他们讲一个故事。有一次,他带来一部电话,以便更好地阐明 祈祷 的含义。

"你们通过电话与人交谈,却看不到电话线另一端的人,对吗?" 他开始说道。孩子们点了点头。"嗯,与上帝交谈就像打电话一样。他在另一端,但你看不见他。不过,他正在倾听。"

就在这时,一个小男孩突然大声问道:"他的号码是多少?"
