Q: What's the difference between a monkey and a flea? A: A monkey can have fleas, but a flea can't have monkeys. 猴子会和跳蚤有什么不同呢

Q: How can you most irritate a farmer? A: By treading on his corn? 如果你踩了农夫的玉米或是谷物,他肯定会生气的;而如果你踩了农夫脚底的鸡眼,他会更生气。
Corn既可以表示“玉米\\\/谷物”,也有“鸡眼”的意思。
Q: Which is the strongest creature in the world? A: The snail. It carries its house on its back. 因为snail(蜗牛)的后背上总是背着一所房子,所以说蜗牛是世界上最强壮的生物是不足为奇的。
你说呢

接上面的: B: Where did you come from? I'm from ... A: I'm from ..., it's a nice place, have you been there before? B: No, but I've heard so much about that place, everyone who has been there say it's a beautiful place with really nice people. A: Most of the people there are really nice. I remember I had a friend in Elementary School, she was just the kindest person ever. She would also be the first person to stand up and help anyone who's in need. Do you know anyone like that? B: Yes, but speaking of Elementary School friends, I know a person who is just the opposite as your friend, he was awful. He always picked on the girls; I remember he used to take our utensils and won't give it back. He also used to secretly listen to everything we say, and then spread it to everyone, including our secrets. A: That is awful, did he get in trouble from teachers or other students' parents? B: He did, but that didn't seem to stop him, he was after all, only an elementary kid. A: Of course. So, how long are you going to stay here? B: I'm going to be here all afternoon, how about you? A: Me too, want to go get something to drink? B: Sure... 性别就不用加进去了吧...毕竟大部分人的性别不都是看得出来的吗

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子 A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders. Zeal should not outrun discretion. 有只鸽子口渴得很难受,看见画板上画着一个水瓶,以为是真的。
他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去,不料一头碰撞在画板上,折断了翅膀,摔在地上,被人轻易地捉住了。
这是说,有些人想急于得到所需的东西,一时冲动,草率从事,就会身遭不幸。
The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅 A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished. Change of habit cannot alter Nature. 乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。
他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡,羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕。
于是,他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛,来到江湖边。
他天天洗刷自己的羽毛,不但一 点都没洗白,反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。
这故事是说,人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。
The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人 A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent. Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid. 很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里。
有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西,单独落在后面。
牧羊 人拿起一块石头扔了过去,正巧打断了山羊的一只角。
牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人, 山羊说:“即使我不说,又怎能隐瞒下去呢
我的角已断了,这是十分明显的事实。
” 这故事说明,明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。
The Miser守财奴 A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it. 有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产,换回了金块,并秘密地埋在一个地方。
他每天走去看 看他的宝藏。
有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察,知道了真情,趁他走后,挖出金块拿走了。
守财奴再来时,发现洞中的金块没有了,便捶胸痛哭。
有个人见他如此悲痛,问明原因后, 说道:“喂,朋友,别再难过了,那块金子虽是你买来的,但并不是你真正拥有的。
去拿一 块石头来,代替金块放在洞里,只要你心里想着那是块金子,你就会很高兴。
这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。
依我之见,你拥有那金块时,也从没用过。
” 这故事说明,一切财物如不使用等于没有。
The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊 WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me. Indeed, bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, I was not then born. Then said the Wolf , You feed in my pasture. No, good sir, replied the Lamb, I have not yet tasted grass. Again said the Wolf, You drink of my well. No, exclaimed the Lamb, I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me. Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations. The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny. 一只小羊在河边喝水,狼见到后,便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。
于是他跑到上游,恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了,使他喝不到清水。
小羊回答说,他仅仅站在河边喝水,并且又在下游,根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。
狼见此计不成,又说道:“我父亲去年被你骂过。
”小羊说,那时他还没有出生。
狼对他说:“不管你怎样辩解,反正我不会放过 你。
” 这说明,对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。
The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼 A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped. It is wise to turn circumstances to good account. 蝙蝠掉落在地上,被黄鼠狼叼去,他请求饶命。
黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他,自己生来痛恨鸟类。
蝙蝠说他是老鼠,不是鸟,便被放了。
后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来,被另一只黄鼠狼叼住,他再三请求不要吃他。
这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类。
蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类,并非老 鼠,又被放了。
这样,蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字,终于死里逃生。
这故事说明,我们遇事要随机应变方能避免危险。
The Ass and the Grasshopper 驴子与蚱蜢 AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, The dew. The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger. 驴子听见蚱蜢唱歌,被美妙动听的歌声所打动,自己也想能发出同样悦耳动听的声音,便 羡慕地问他们吃些什么,才能发出如此美妙的声音来。
蚱蜢答道:“吃露水。
”驴子便也只吃露水,没多久就饿死了。
这个故事告诉人们不要企望非份之物。
The Lion and the Mouse 狮子与报恩的老鼠 A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness. The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming: You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion. 狮子睡着了,有只老鼠跳到了他身上。
狮子猛然站起来,把他抓住,准备吃掉。
老鼠请求饶命,并说如果保住性命,必将报恩,狮子轻蔑地笑了笑,便把他放走了。
不久,狮子真的被老鼠救了性命。
原来狮子被一个猎人抓获,并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上。
老鼠听到了他 的哀嚎,走过去咬断绳索,放走了狮子,并说: “你当时嘲笑我,不相信能得到我的报答, 现在可清楚了,老鼠也能报恩。
” 这故事说明,时运交替变更,强者也会有需要弱者的时候。
回答者: sanxianshutiao | 一级 | 2008-11-27 20:17 Once before the Iranian revolution, the then President of the United States Jimmy Carter visited Iran. He held a formal talk with the Shah, Pahlevi. As the Shah had an excellent command of English, no interpreters were needed for the occasion. However, the Shah spoke English with an accent which led to a misunderstanding on a major question, But interestingly enough, Carter, being a southerner, also had his accent and so the misundeerstanding turned into a double one. This is how it all happened. During their talk Carter mentioned a certain African organization and asked the Shah to give an overall appraisal of it. The Shah didn't have a very high opinion of the said organization as he found it beset with many internal problems, so he used the word impotent to describe it. The trouble was in pronouncing the word he put the stress on the second syllable and the word sounded like important to Carter. As it happened Carter himself thought the organization was a very important one and he felt most pleased that their opinions should coincide, Yes, I agree that the organization is indeed very important, he repeated to the Shah. Now in his southern accent, the word important souded very much like the word impotent, and the Shah too felt most pleased that the President should agree with him. Now of all the people present on the occasion, only the then US ambassador to Iran, Mr. Sullivan, realised that it was a double misunderstanding as he knew the President's and the Shah's different opinions on that African organization and he was also familiar with both men's peculiar accents. Naturally he didn't see it fit for him to put them wise on the matter so he kept his mouth shut. He cast a glance around the room to see if anyone else was enjoying the room to see if anyone else was enjoying the joke with him and so the matter was allowed to pass. 伊朗革命前,当时的美国总统吉米·卡特在访问伊朗时曾与巴列维国王举行过一次正式会谈。
伊朗国王的英语水平是相当高的。
因此,他与卡特总统的会谈无需经过翻译。
但巴列维国王讲英文时有的音发不准。
这曾导致双方就一个重大问题产生了误会。
有趣的是,卡特总统的英语也带有南方口音,所以导致了双重误会。
事情的经过是这样的:会谈中,卡特总统提到某一非洲组织的问题。
他请巴列维国王对它作一概括的评价。
国王认为这个组织是软弱无力的。
不过,在表达时,国王把软弱无力的(impotent)一词的重音读错,放在了第二个音节,结果,卡特总统听起来,软弱无力的变成了重要的(important)。
而总统心目中的这一组织正好是重要的,于是,他认为双方对此问题的看法一致。
总统很高兴,便重复了一句说,是的,这个组织的确是重要的。
碰巧的是,卡特总统用美国南方口音,重复重要的一词时,听起来很像是软弱无力的一词。
这样,国王也以为双方的观点是一致的。
在场的,只有当时美国驻伊朗的大使沙利文了解其间的奥妙,因为他清楚两位领导人对该非洲组织的真正观点,同时也知道他们语言方面的缺欠和特点。
当然,在这样的场合,大使是不便说什么的,他扫了在场的人员一眼,看看是否还有人像他一样了解其中的奥妙,事情也就这样过去了。

急!!!演讲用的小故事(2~3分钟)
2~3分钟,有很多生活哲理篇(04)一位神父离开尘世后,来到天堂,天堂的守门人静静地接待他进入天堂。
过了不久,来了一位刚离开尘世的计程车司机,守门人却很热情的招待他;神父很不解的问守门人:「在人间,我是一个专门教人如何祷告的神父,而他只是一位计程车司机,您为什麼对待我们的态度上会有这麼大的差别呢
」守门人说:「没错
在人间您是一位教人如何祷告的神父,而且您也很认真的教人祷告,可是,听您教导的信徒,大部分都在打瞌睡。
而这位计程车司机,在人世间时,喜欢开快车,又不遵守交通规则,也常常被警察开罚单,可是,只要一坐上他计程车的人,就一定会祷告
」注:生活之道贵在坦率,不在形式。
生活哲理篇(05)有一个小孩,家里很穷,但非常孝顺母亲,很同情他,於是用手指点石为金要送给孩童,孩子摇摇头说:「我不要金子。
」讶异的问:「那你要什麼呢
」孩童说:「我要您的手指,因为您给我金子我会用完,但是有了您的手指,没有钱时就可以点石为金了。
」注:有时候,需求与贪婪只是一线之隔。
生活哲理篇(06)有一个人,每到晚上都会作一个梦,他梦见自己走在很长的走廊,走到尽头时,出现了一道门,看见门他全身发抖,直冒冷汗不敢打开门;就这样,二十年来他每晚都做同样的梦,也找心理医师治疗了二十年。
后来他换了心理医师,也把梦的情形跟医师说明。
医师觉得很奇怪,跟他说:「你为什麼不把门打开看看呢
最多只是一死而已嘛
」这人想想很有道理,於是当晚在梦中他便鼓起勇气把门推开了………。
隔天,他去找心理医师,医师问他:「门打开了吗
」他点点头回答:「打开了
」医师问:「结果门后有什麼呢
」他说:「打开门后,呈现眼前的是一片绿油油的柔软草地,有灿烂的阳光、耀眼的舞蝶……………。
」注:我们总是不敢打开生活的心灵之门,因为怕,所以缩在幸福之门外不敢面对。
生活哲理篇(08)有一个人去造访一位高僧,想拜他为师去探寻人生之道,见到高僧时对他说:「我跟过很多位高僧学过禅道,也了解了很多人生哲理,不知道您愿意收我为徒吗
」他看见高僧拿著茶壶,倒水在一杯已经有了茶水的杯子,眼见著茶杯的水满溢流出,高僧却还一直往下倒水。
他阻止道:「师傅
您的水一直流出来………。
」高僧说:「哦
我以为倒新的水就可以把杯内的旧水换掉呢
」注:除非我们屏除脑中主观的迷雾,智慧的阳光才可透射进来。
生活哲理篇(09)在一个寒冷的冬夜里,两只豪猪因为太冷,自然的接近、靠拢取暖,但由於身上的利刺,互相的刺疼对方而分开,就这样在本能的取暖之下,合合分分、分分合合,最后,他们终於找到了一个最适当的距离,不去刺痛对方,而互相取暖。
注:对人而言,这项举止就叫———『礼貌』。
破裂的水桶一位挑水夫,有两个水桶,分别吊在扁担的两头,其中一个桶子有裂缝,另一个则完好无缺。
在每趟长途的挑运之后,完好无缺的桶子,总是能将满满一种桶水从溪边送到主人家中,但是有裂缝的桶子到达主人家时,却剩下半桶水。
两年来,挑水夫就这样每天挑一桶半的水到主人家。
当然,好桶子对自己能够送满整桶水感到很自豪。
破桶子呢
对于自己的缺陷则非常羞愧,他为只能负起责任的一半,感到非常难过。
饱尝了两年失败的苦楚,破桶子终于忍不住,在小溪旁对挑水夫说:我很惭愧,必须向你道歉。
为什么呢
挑水夫问道:你为什么觉得惭愧
过去两年,因为水从我这边一路的漏,我只能送半桶水到你主人家,我的缺陷,使你作了全部的工作,却只收到一半的成果。
破桶子说。
挑水夫替破桶子感到难过,他满有爱心地说:我们回到主人家的路上,我要你留意路旁盛开的花朵。
果真,他们走在山坡上,破桶子眼前一亮,看到缤纷的花朵,开满路的一旁,沐浴在之下,这景象使他开心了很多
但是,走到小路的尽头,它又难受了,因为一半的水又在路上漏掉了
破桶子再次向挑水夫道歉。
挑水夫温和地说:你有没有注意到小路两旁,只有你的那一边有花,好桶子的那一边却没有开花呢
我明白你有缺陷,因此我善加利用,在你那边的路旁撒了花种,每回我从溪边来,你就替我一路浇了花
两年来,这些美丽的花朵装饰了主人的餐桌。
如果你不是这个样子,主人的桌上也没有这么好看的花朵了
窗有个太太多年来不断抱怨对面的太太很懒惰,“那个女人的衣服永远洗不干净,看,她晾在外院子里的衣服,总是有斑点,我真的不知道,她怎么连洗衣服都洗成那个样子直到有一天,有个明察秋毫的朋友到她家,才发现不是对面的太太衣服洗不干净。
细心的朋友拿了一块抹布,把这个太太的窗户上的灰渍抹掉,说:“看,这不就干净了吗
”原来,是自己家的窗户脏了。
卖糖哲学一个小孩到商店里买糖,总喜欢找同一个售货员。
因为别的售货员都是先抓一大把,拿去称,再把多了的糖一颗一颗拿走。
但那个比较可爱的售货员,则每次都抓得不足重量,然后再一颗一颗往上加。
虽然最后拿到的糖在数量上并没有什么差别,但小孩就是喜欢后者。
这一“卖糖哲学”告诉人们:生活中,同样的付出,仅仅因为方法不同,其效果是不一样的。
一罐果酱[美]·布莱索荣素礼编译一个人只要还有力量帮助别人,他就是富有的记得有一年,我丢了工作。
在那之前,父亲所在的工厂倒闭。
我们全家就只靠妈妈为别人做衣服的收入生活。
有一次妈妈病了几周,没法干活。
因为没钱付电费,家里被电力公司停了电,然后煤气公司停了煤气。
最后要不是因为健康部门为了的原因制止了自来水公司,我家就会连水也没有了。
家里的食品柜空空如也,幸亏我家有个小菜园,我们只好在后院生起柴火煮菜充饥。
一天,妹妹放学回家,兴冲冲地说:我们明天要带些东西到学校去,捐给穷人,帮助他们渡过难关。
妈妈正要冲口而出:我不知道还有比我们更穷的人
当时外婆正和,她赶紧拉住妈妈的手臂,皱皱眉,示意她不要这么说。
伊瓦,外婆说,如果你让孩子从小就把自己当成一个'穷人',她一辈子都会是个'穷人'。
她会永远等待别人的帮助,这样的人怎么能振作起来,怎么能当上'富人'呢
咱们不是还有一罐自家做的果酱吗
让她拿去。
一个人只要还有力量帮助别人,他就是富有的。
外婆不知从哪里找来一张软纸和一段粉红色的丝带,把我家最后一罐果酱精心包好。
第二天,妹妹欢快而自豪地带着礼物去帮助穷人了。
直到今天,拥有3家酒店的妹妹仍然记得那罐果酱。
无论是在公司里,还是在社区里,一看到有人需要帮助,妹妹总认为自己应该是送果酱的人。
▲《环球时报》(2005年02月07日第二十二版)红色玻璃球郭言编译在1930年经济大萧条的艰难岁月里,我住在堪萨斯州东南部一个小社区里。
因为食物很紧缺,钱也很少,人们经常以货易货,实物交换。
那时,我常光顾米勒先生的货摊,买些新鲜的蔬菜。
一天,当米勒先生帮我把土豆装到袋子里的时候,我注意到一个小男孩正贪婪地盯着一篮新摘下来的豌豆。
男孩身体瘦削,穿着打补丁但很干净的衣服。
我付了土豆的钱,但也被新鲜的豌豆吸引,因为我非常喜欢奶油豌豆加土豆的滋味。
在我考虑是否买豆子时,听到了米勒先生和男孩的谈话。
你好,白瑞,今天过得怎么样
很好,米勒先生,谢谢。
这些豌豆看起来真棒。
确实很好,白瑞,你妈妈好吗
还好,比过去精神多了。
你不想带回点豆子吗
不了,先生,我没有钱。
嗯,那你有什么东西做交换吗
只有一颗赢来的玻璃球。
是吗
让我看看。
给你,它很漂亮。
嗯,只是我想要一颗红色的玻璃球,而不是蓝色的。
你有红色的吗
好像没有……不过,下次很可能会赢一个。
这样吧,你把这包豌豆带回家,等你下次来的时候给我带一颗红色的玻璃球来。
好,谢谢你,先生。
米勒太太走过来帮我装豌豆。
她笑着对我说:在这个社区里还有两个这样的孩子,他们家境都非常贫寒。
吉米(米勒的昵称)愿意送给他们豌豆、苹果、西红柿这样的果蔬。
当孩子们下次带着红色玻璃球来时,他又会说其实他不喜欢红色的,然后给他们一包蔬菜让他们下次带绿色的或橘红色的球来。
米勒真是个好人
我听了非常感动。
过了一段时间,我就搬到科罗拉多居住,但我从没有忘记米勒先生和男孩们换玻璃球的事。
时光飞逝,很多年后,我才有机会回那个小社区拜访老朋友,也是在这时,米勒先生去世了。
他们在晚上为他举行告别仪式,因为朋友们都去参加,我也一同跟随前往。
当我们快到太平间的时候,碰到了死者的很多亲属,我们就尽量说些安慰的话。
走在我们前边的是三个年轻人,一个穿着军装,另外两个西装革履穿着职业装。
米勒太太尽量克制着悲痛,温和地站在丈夫的棺材旁边。
三个年轻人走到她的面前,每一个人都和她拥抱,亲吻她的面颊,简短说几句话,然后就走向米勒先生的棺木。
米勒太太泪眼蒙目龙地看着他们一个一个地来到棺材旁边,用他们温暖的手握一下死者冰冷的手,然后他们流着眼泪,慢慢地走出太平间。
轮到我们走到米勒太太面前的时候,我告诉她我是谁,又和她提起了有关玻璃球的往事。
米勒太太拉着我的手来到棺材旁边,说:那三个离开的年轻人就是当年我跟你说起过的三个男孩。
他们刚才告诉我自己是多么感激吉米和他们做的'交换'。
现在,因为吉米已经不能再改变主意不要不喜欢的玻璃球了---他们就来'还债'了。
我们从来没有发过财,她接着说,但现在,吉米可以自豪地说他是这个社区里最富有的人。
然后她轻轻抬起丈夫的右手。
我吃惊地发现手里握着三颗精致的闪着亮光的红色玻璃球
▲值不值郑洁编译在一次战斗中,当士兵吉姆看见自己的好伙伴在战场上倒下时,恐惧占据了他的心。
他被困在战壕中,炮火连绵,子弹嗖嗖地从头顶飞过。
他问中尉,自己能否到战壕之间的无人区去把他的伙伴救回来。
你可以去,中尉说,但是我觉得不值得。
你的朋友大概已经牺牲了,而且你自己可能也会送命。
中尉的话并没有影响吉姆,他还是去了。
吉姆奇迹般地安全到达朋友的身边,把朋友背回战壕。
在战壕里,军官检查了受伤的吉姆,看着吉姆已经牺牲了的朋友,说:我告诉过你,这不值得。
你的朋友牺牲了,而你也受了致命伤。
尽管如此,长官,这是值得的。
吉姆说。
什么意思,值得
中尉说,你的朋友已经牺牲了
是的,长官,吉姆回答,这是值得的,因为当我找到他时,他还活着,他说:'吉姆,我知道你会来的。
'听到他这么说我很满足。
您说这不值得吗,长官
▲来自非洲的智慧[美]雷金纳德·麦克奈特盛森编译爱情友谊亲情告诉我你爱什么样的人,我就知道你是什么样的人。
白蚂蚁并不爱它们身上扛着的稻草---看似亲密的人,不一定爱你。
在你不需要朋友的时候,交朋友。
蛋教母鸡如何孵蛋---孩子教会家长如何做父母。
巧妙的乞讨〔美〕莫瑞尔·纳恩张霄峰编译我听到丈夫即将下岗的消息,当时的震惊令我永远无法忘怀。
那时我们的婚姻已经经历了10个年头,约翰向我表露了对于这噩梦般遭遇的忧虑。
他向我保证,将尽一切努力找到新工作来维持生计。
我们有3个不到5岁的孩子,还有一个马上就要出世,约翰是全家惟一的经济支柱。
生活还要继续,约翰说,看起来他比我乐观得多。
我们至少还拥有健康,失去的只不过是份工作。
另外,公司会继续发3个月的工资,在这期间我肯定能找到新工作,用不着担心。
约翰毕业于名牌大学,具有优异的工作背景,我相信他的自信是有道理的。
约翰早年丧父,他很早就肩负照顾母亲和弟弟妹妹的责任。
他还曾是奥运健将,懂得如何面对挑战,如何苦干加巧干。
但是几个月过去了,他仍未找到工作。
我越来越害怕,对他的迷信也开始动摇。
如果他找不到工作该怎么办
若不是有孕在身,我可以回学校教书,问题是距离我们第4个孩子的出生已经不到3个月了。
我们的存款所剩不多,分期贷款已经拖欠了两个月,又没有其他收入来源,我得节衣缩食。
最后连吃饭的钱都快没有了。
有一天在带着孩子逛超市时,我注意到一个男孩正往纸箱里装熟过头的水果和过期食品。
我迟疑地问他要把这些食品送到哪里,他说:削价处理,处理不掉的就扔掉。
我看着那些老胡萝卜、芹菜和西红柿,足够我们全家吃几个星期。
我想,用什么办法能体面地为孩子们讨一点食物呢
我们有只稀有的蒙古兔
我脱口而出,扫了一眼3个饥饿的孩子。
我想给它买点食物。
他很干脆地答道:既然是给兔子吃,我就不收钱了。
那天他一共把5箱食物装进我车里,一边忙着,一边跟我聊天。
我讲我们即将添一张嘴的家庭,他也讲了自己的情况。
他叫杰弗,出身于一个拮据的5口之家,在这里打工,是为了付大学学费。
几星期过去了,杰弗开始把过期和包装破损的盒装食品也装进箱里。
这些花生酱、汤料和奶酪还可以吃,按规定却要扔掉。
小兔子肯定喜欢吃这些东西,他解释为什么要送这些东西给我们。
几个月后,我们发现食品下面还藏有洗衣粉、牛奶、果汁、黄油……品种越来越多。
后来每次杰弗集满一箱兔食就会给我打电话,还时不时送上家门。
但他从来没问过小兔子的情况,每次把东西放下就离去。
第四个女儿出生时,我喜中有忧,担心未来的家庭开支。
上帝啊,求求你,我祈祷道,你曾许诺我们的苦难永远不会超过我们的承受能力。
我们该怎么办呢
这时丈夫悄悄走进产房,说:我有一个好消息,还有一个坏消息。
好消息是今天上午我找到一份很好的工作。
我闭上眼睛,感谢上帝对我们的恩赐。
坏消息是,他继续说道:那只蒙古小兔子不见了。
后来我再去那家超市,杰弗已经不在那里工作了。
据超市经理讲,正当我为婴儿出世忙碌时,他搬家了,没有留下新地址。
我默默发誓,一定要回报那些在患难时期帮助我们的好心人。
此后10年里,我履行了自己的诺言。
但是我的心愿并没完全了结,直到10年后的一天,我遇见杰弗站在超市办公室门前,胸前佩戴着经理的工卡。
对一个曾帮助过你并同时维护了你自尊的人,一个曾向你伸出援助之手而不贬低你自身能力的人,一个相信在生活中藏有一只稀有蒙古兔的人,你该如何表达自己的感激之情呢
对于杰弗的升迁我一点都不意外,他具有特殊的天赋,懂得如何倾听我特殊的祈求。
纳恩太太
他兴奋地喊道:我经常想你和你们一家。
小兔子怎么样了
他轻声地问。
握着杰弗的手,我眨了眨眼,低声说:谢谢你的关心。
那只兔子很久以前就离开我们了,我们过得好极了。
