生活总是充满了惊喜
上周,一老店的经理收到了一封信。由于他非常忙,所以直到下午茶的时候,他才有时间读了这封信。当他把信撕开的时候,50美元掉在了桌子上,一块儿掉下来的还有一封简短的信。
信上写道:
亲爱的先生:
在1945年的时候,我订婚了。但是不幸的是 ,我丢了我的工作。在那时候很多人都没有了工作。6个月后我又找到了一份工作,当然我那时非常缺钱。
我来到你的店,来买结婚戒指,你店里的服务员为我拿出了一些戒指,但她被叫走了一会儿,然后。就在那时候,我迅速的把一个戒指放入了我的口袋里,当她回来后 ,我对她撒谎说,我并不知道我女朋友手指的尺寸,然后,我未付钱就离开了商店。
我的妻子几天前死了,而且我从来没有为她的戒指付过钱,这些年来它一直是我的遗憾,在当时它的价钱是10块, 所以我觉得它现在可能值50块,并且我把钱寄给了你,
敬上
一位顾客
“哦,”这个经理说,“生活总是充满了惊喜。”
Life is Full of Surprise
Last week the manager of an old shop received a letter. As he was very busy, he didn't read it until tea time. Then he opened it and $50 fell out onto the desk. Together with it was a short letter. It reads:
Dear sir,
In 1945, I got engaged. But unluckily, I lost my job. At that time , a lot of people were out of work. Six months later, I got a job again. But of course I was very short of money.
I came to your store to buy a wedding ring. The girl in your shop took out some rings for me. But she was called away for a moment. And at that moment I put one of the rings into my pocket quickly. When she came back. I lied to her that. I didn't know the size of my girlfriend's finger. Then I left the store without paying.
My wife died a few days ago and I never paid for her ring. It has been on my conscience all these years. At that time the ring cost $10. So I think the ring may cost $50 now and I am sending you the money.
Your truly
a customer
“Well ,well ,well,” said the manager ,“ life is full of surprise.”
有时候你做了坏事,可能别人不会知道,但你总不会过了心里的那一关。
特别对于西方人而言,他们会说,虽然别人不知道,但是上帝知道。
除非心理特别强大的人,才不会把这些小事放在心上。(因为这些人没有信仰)
小时候我不敢做坏事,因为我总怕爸妈会发现。后来我不敢做坏事,因为我知道有一句俗语叫做,世上没有不透风的墙。所以自始至终不敢做坏事。
现在也不敢做坏事,因为监控无处不在。
对法律存在敬畏,就不会做违法的事。
对生命充满敬畏,就不会去伤害小动物。
中国还有一句俗话,叫做:人在做,天在看,举头三尺有神明。
虽然……我还是比较敬畏神明。
总有那么一天,当我们站在功德簿面前的时候,我可以自豪的说,我没做过坏事,没有伤害过别人,我问心无愧。
哈哈,生活中到处都是小惊喜。
今日份小惊喜,六年级毕业考试,不需要我出去监考。
甚好,甚好。
