31 God's number
31 上帝的號碼
Each Sunday, the minister would call the children to the front of the cathedra while he told them the story. Once he brought a telephone to better illustrate the idea of prayer. He drew a telephone on the blackboard with a piece of chalk.
每個星期天牧師都會把孩子們叫到教堂前面給他們講一個神話故事。一天，他為了更好地闡述祈禱的含義，帶來了一臺電話機，并用粉筆在黑板上畫了臺電話機。
"You communicate with friends on the telephone and don't see them on the other end of the line, right?" he began.
“你們和別人在電話里交談時，并沒有看到電話線另一端的人，對嗎？”他開始問道。
The chlidren nodded yes. "While 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."
孩子們點頭稱是。“好的，和上帝交談就像通過電話交談一樣。他就在另一端，雖然你看不見他，但是他正在聆聽你的心聲。”
Just then a little boy with golden hair piped up and asked, "What's his number? Otherwise we can't connect with him." The minister was choked by his words for a long time.
就在這時，一個頭發金黃的小男孩尖著嗓子問道“那上帝的電話號碼是什么？否則我們和他聯系不上。”牧師聽了他的話噎得半天說不出話來。
