Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. <BR> 兩個一老一少結伴出遊的天使在途上一戶富有人家處停下，欲暫時借宿一夜。<BR><BR>
The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. <BR> 戶主對天使們並不友好，且拒絕讓出大宅內的客房，只是在冰冷的地下室內闢出一個小角落讓他們住下。<BR><BR>
As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. <BR> 就在天使們於硬梆梆的地板上鋪床墊時，老天使發現牆壁上有一個洞，便替其修補好了。<BR><BR>
When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, 'Things aren't always what they seem.'<BR> 小天使問他為何這樣做，老天使答道﹕ “很多事情並非是表明看到的那樣。”<BR><BR>
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. <BR> 第二晚，兩人又到了一戶非常貧窮的農家借宿。主人夫婦倆對他們非常熱情，把僅有的一點點食物拿出來款待客人，更讓出自己的床鋪給兩位天使，好讓他們得到充份的休息。<BR><BR>
When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. <BR> Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. <BR> 隔天一早，兩位天使發現農夫和他的妻子含著淚--他們賴以為生的一頭乳牛死在田野了。<BR><BR>
The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? <BR> 小天使非常憤怒，生氣地質問老天使﹕” 你怎可讓這件事發生的﹖<BR><BR> The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. <BR> 第一個家庭已經什麼都有了，你還要幫助他們修補牆洞，<BR> The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die. <BR> 第二個家庭即使困苦也還是熱情地與我們分享一切，而你竟然没有阻止乳牛死去﹗”<BR><BR>
'Things aren't always what they seem,' the older angel replied. <BR> “很多事情並非是表面看到的那樣。” 老天使說， <BR><BR>
'When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.. <BR> “當我們在地下室過夜時，我從牆洞看到牆裏面堆滿了金塊。<BR><BR>
Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it.' <BR> 既然主人如此被貪欲所迷惑，壓根兒不願意分享他的財富，所以我把牆洞填上了，再也不讓他找到金子。<BR><BR>
'Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. <BR> “而昨天晚上我們好夢正甜時，死亡之神來召喚農夫的妻子，我讓乳牛代替了她。<BR><BR>
Things aren't always what they seem.' <BR> 所以有些事，並不如表面看到的那樣。”<BR><BR><BR><BR>
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. <BR> If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. <BR> You just might not know it until some time later... <BR> 有些時候，從表面看，事情並未有如我們預期的方式呈現。<BR> 如果你有信念，你只需要堅信付出總會得到回報。<BR> 你可能一直不會曉得，直到那一天的到來……<BR><BR>
