3 給上帝寫信
Tom was a little boy, when he was 6 years old his mother died. Tom was anxious to get a bicycle but he couldn't afford it. His stepmother told him to pray to God for it. He prayed and prayed but nothing turned up. He decided to write a letter to God requesting $100.
湯姆是個小男孩,六歲的時候他媽媽就死了。他很想有一輛自行車,卻買不起。他的繼母就讓他向上帝祈禱。他祈禱了很久,卻什么也沒有得到,于是他決定給上帝寫封信向他要100美元。

When the postal authorities received the letter to "God", they opened it and send it to the President. The president was so impressed that he instructed his secretary to send the boy a check for $5 by airmail. He thought this would be enough for a boy.
當郵件的管理人員接到這封給“上帝”的信后,就打開看,隨后送到了總統那里??偨y看了深受觸動,就讓他的秘書用航空郵件給這位小男孩寄一張五美元的支票。他覺得,對于一個小孩來說,5美元足夠了。
After the boy torn open the letter he was delighted with the $5, so he wrote a thank you letter to God as follows:
小男孩拆開信,看到這5美元非常高興,就寫了封感謝信給上帝,他寫道:
Dear God,
Thank you very much for sending me the money. I noticed that you had to send it through Washinton,D.C. As usual, those guys deducted $95.00.
非常感謝您寄給我的錢,但是我注意到您是從華盛頓寄過來的,和以往一樣,那些家伙們扣了95美元。
