An A fternoon in T he P ark There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with twinkies ( 奶油夹心蛋糕 ) and a six-pack of root beer (根汁汽水) and started his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed the old lady looked hungry,so he offered her a twinkie . She gratefully accepted them and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root drink. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted ! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word. As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was, and he got up to leave, but before he had go ne more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever. When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, " W hat did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother would respond , he added, "you know what? She've got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!" Meanwhile, the old woman was also radiant ( 容光焕发的 ) with joy , returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look on her face and he asked, " M other, what did you do today that made you so happy ?" She replied," I ate cookies in the park with God", but before her son responded ,she added,"you know, he's much younger than I expected."
