722　God is missing 上帝丢了

Two little boys, aged eight and ten, were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town their sons were in some way involved. The parents decided to send the boys to speak with the clergyman who had been successful in disciplining children in the past. The eight-year-old went to meet with the clergyman first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, “Where is God?” The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?” Again the boy made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, “WHERE IS GOD?” At that, the boy bolted from the room and ran directly home slamming himself in his closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and said, “What happened?” The younger brother replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!”

有两个男孩，一个八岁，一个十岁。他们特别淘气，总是惹麻烦。他们的父母知道，如果他们的小镇上出了什么恶作剧的事，总少不了他们儿子的份。他们决定送他们的两个儿子去见教士，因为教士过去有训导孩子的成功经验。八岁的男孩先去见教士。教士让他坐下，然后厉声问他：“上帝在哪里？”小男孩不说话。教士用更严厉的声音问他：“上帝在哪里？”小男孩还是不说话。于是，教士用手指抓住男孩的脸，提高了嗓门问他：“上帝在哪里？”这时候，小男孩突然冲出门去，跑回家里，把自己关在壁橱里。他的哥哥跟着他进了壁橱，问他发生了什么事。弟弟说：“这下我们捅了大娄子了。上帝丢了。他们以为是我们干的。”
