Spending the night with their grandparents， two young boys knelt beside their beds to say their prayers at bedtime.The younger boy began praying at the top of his lungs，“I pray for a bike...I pray for a new DVD...”

His older brother nudged him and said，“Why are you shouting your prayers？God isn’t deaf.”

To which the little brother replied，“No，but Grandma is！”

中国人讲：

两个男孩与祖父母一起过夜，他们跪在床边做睡前祷告。弟弟声嘶力竭地祈祷：“我祈求一辆自行车……我祈求一张新的DVD……”

哥哥用肘轻推他：“你为什么大喊着祈祷？上帝又不聋。”

弟弟答道：“上帝是不聋，但是奶奶聋。”
