Pray for Gifts

Two young boys were spending the night at their grandparents the week before Christmas．At bedtime，the two boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers when the youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs．

“I PRAY FOR A NEW BICYCLE...

I PRAY FOR A NEW NINTENDO...

I PRAY FOR A NEW VCR...”

His older brother leaned over and nudged the younger brother and said，“Why are you shouting your prayers？God isn’t deaf．”To which the little brother replied，“No，but Grandma is！”

祈祷礼物

还有一个星期就是圣诞节了，两个小男孩同他们的祖父母待在一起。快睡觉的时候，两个男孩跪在床边开始祈祷。弟弟拼命嚷道：

“我想得到一辆新自行车……

我想得到一台崭新的任天堂游戏机……

我还想得到一台新的录像机……”

哥哥侧过身，用胳膊肘推了推弟弟说：“你祈祷的时候干吗要那么大声？上帝又不是聋子。”弟弟回答道：“上帝当然不是，但奶奶的耳朵不好！”
