"Are You God?"
by Dan Clark

One cold evening during the holiday season, a little boy about six or seven was standing out in front of a store window. The little child had no shoes and his clothes were mere rags. A young woman passing by saw the little boy and could read the longing in his pale blue eyes. She took the child by the hand and let him into the store. There she bought him some new shoes and a complete suit of warm clothing.
They came back outside into the street and the woman said to the child, "Now you can go home and have a very happy holiday."
The little boy looked up at her and asked, "Are you God, Ma'am?"
She smiled down at him and replied, "No son, I'm just one of His children."
The little boy then said, "I knew you had to be some relation."

“你是上帝吗？”
丹•克拉克

在圣诞节期间一个寒冷的夜晚，一个六、七岁的小男孩站在一家商店的橱窗前，他没穿鞋子，身上的衣服非常破旧。一个路过的年轻妇女看见了这个小男孩，她可以从他淡蓝的眼里看到这个男孩内心深处的渴望。妇女牵着这个孩子进了商店。在商店里，她给小男孩买了新鞋子和一套暖和的衣服。
他们从商店出来站在街上，那位妇女对男孩说，“你现在可以回家高高兴兴地过一个节了。”
小男孩抬头看着她，问道：“夫人，您是上帝吗？”
她低头看着他，笑着答道：“孩子，我不是，我只是他的一个孩子。”
小男孩接着说：“我就知道你与上帝有些关系。”
