I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.

Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ' ' Granny,
are you sure I don ' t have enough money? ' '

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
最後我向他走去，問他這個娃娃你想給誰。

'It ' s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas.

She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her. '
她一直認為聖誕老人會帶娃娃來給她的。」
1 u2 i3 O# u/ M$ tI replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.
我告訴他不用擔心，聖誕老人最後可能會帶給她的。

But he replied to me sadly. ' No, Santa Claus can ' t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there. '
但他哀傷地回答我『不！聖誕老人不可能將它帶到她現在的地方給她。我必須將娃娃交給我媽，當她去那裡的時候可以給我妹妹。』

His eyes were so sad while saying this. ' My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister. ' '
" `' L% O9 X1 R7 x他說話時的眼睛是哀傷的。『我妹妹已經和上帝在一起。爸爸說 媽媽很快也將要去見上帝，因此我認為她可以將娃娃帶給我妹妹。』

睡懒觉的闹钟

对自己负责。对别人负责，对社会负责，请勿酒后驾车。因为这个小男孩有可能成为你家的孩子。
