　　：買小狗

　　A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.

　　"Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."

　　"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."

　　The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"

　　"Sure," said the farmer.

　　And with that he let out a whistle, "Here, Dolly!" he called.

　　Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.

　　As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp***斜坡*** it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up…

　　"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.

　　The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."

　　With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."

　　The world is full of people who need someone who understands.

　　：The Mental Chain

　　Most people are like the circus elephant. Have you ever seen an elephant in an indoor arenatied to a little wooden stake? That huge creature can pick up two thousand pounds with its trunk, yet it calmly stays tied. Why?

　　When that elephant was just a baby, and not very strong, it was tied by a huge chain to an iron stake that could not be moved. Regardless of how hard it tried, it could not break the chain and run free. After a while it just gave up. Now, even though it is strong, it never attempts to break free. The "imprint" is permanent. "I can't! I can't!" it says.

　　There are millions of people who behave like this circus creature. They have been tied and told "You'll never make it," so many times they finally call it quits. They may have dreams, but the "imprinting" keeps pulling them back.

　　：孤島上的故事

　　The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayedfeverishly***狂熱地*** for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

　　Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging***打掃，清除*** for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.

　　The worst had happened; everything was lost.

　　He was stunned with grief and anger. "God how could you do this to me!" he cried.

　　Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

　　It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.

　　But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.

　　Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

　　For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it .

　　：Love & Time

　　Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love.

　　One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

　　Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

　　When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

　　Richness was passing by Love in a grand***巨集偉的*** boat. Love said,"Richness, can you take me with you?"

　　Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

　　Love decided to ask Vanity***虛榮心*** who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"

　　"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

　　Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."

　　"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

　　Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

　　Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

　　Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"

　　"It was Time," Knowledge answered.

　　"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"

　　Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."
