Anonymous

本章内容导读

在众多的天使中,我已特别为你挑选好了一位守护天使。

她会在人间守候着你并且照顾你。

你的天使会保护你的,哪怕是让她冒着生命的危险。

你守护天使的名字并不重要,你只需简单地叫她——妈妈。

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.So one day he asked God,'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?'

God replied,'Among the many angels,I choose one for you.She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'

But the child wasn't sure he really wanted to go.But asked,'here in Heaven,I don't do anything else but sing and smile,that's enough for me to be happy.'

'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day.And you will feel your angel's love and be happy.'

'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me,'the child continued,'If I don't know the language that men talk?'

God patted him on the head and said,'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweetest words you will never hear,and with much patience and care,your angel will teach you how to speak.'

'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?'

But God had an answer for that question too.'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'

'I've heard that on earth there are bad men,who will protect me?'

'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life1!'

'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore,'the child continued warily2.

God smiled to the young one.'Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me,even though I will always be next to you.'

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven,but voices from earth could already be heard.The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon.He asked God one more question,softly,'Oh God,if I am about to leave now,please tell me my angel's name.'

God touched the child on the shoulder and answered,'Your angel's name is of no importance 3.You will simply call her Mommy.'

从前,有个孩子马上就要降临人世了。因此有一天,他问上帝:“听他们说,明天您就要让我降生到人世间去了,但是,我这么的弱小而又无助,我该怎么在那儿生存呢?”

上帝回答道:“在众多的天使中,我已特别为你挑选好了一位守护天使。她会在人间守候着你并且照顾你。”

但是这个孩子还是不确定自己是否真的想去。他充满疑惑地问“可是在天堂,我除了唱唱笑笑之外,什么也不用做,这就足以让我感到幸福了。”

“你的守护天使也同样会每天为你唱歌,对你微笑的。你会感受到天使对你的爱,并会过得很幸福。”

“如果我不懂人类的语言,他们对我说话我怎么才能听得懂呢?”孩子继续问道。

上帝轻轻地拍了一下孩子的头说道:“你的守护天使会对你说最甜美、最动听的话,而这些都是你从未听过的。她会用无微不至的关怀,不厌其烦地教你说话。”

“如果我想和您说话时该怎么办呢?”

但是上帝对此也早已有了答案:“你的守护天使会让你将双手合拢,教你如何来祈祷。”

“我听说人间有很多坏人,谁会来保护我呢?”孩子又问道。

“你的天使会保护你的,哪怕是让她冒着生命的危险。”

“但是见不到您,我会很难过的。”孩子小心翼翼地说道。

听到这儿,上帝对着孩子笑了。“尽管我会一直陪伴在你的左右,你的天使也会时常向你提起我,并会教你如何回到我的身边来。”

此时,天堂一片寂静,却依稀可以听得见来自人世间的声音。孩子明白自己得赶紧上路了。他又轻声问了上帝最后一个问题,“哦,上帝啊,我很快就要离开您了,请您告诉我,我守护天使叫什么名字。”

上帝拍了拍孩子的肩膀回答道:“你守护天使的名字并不重要,你只需简单地叫她——妈妈。”
