我告訴他不用擔心，聖誕老人最後可能會帶給她的。

5 L8 U, `( c+ ?0 W% \2 c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. ' '
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。』

'I love my mommy and I wish she didn ' t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister. '
『我愛我的媽媽，我希望她不要離開我，但是爸爸說她必須去找我妹妹。』


Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
然後他安靜地用哀傷的眼睛再看著娃娃。

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。
