Soon thereafter the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing。不久,第一个人又祈求得到一间房子、衣服和更多的食物。隔天,他所祈求的东西就像变魔术一样全都出现了,而另一个人还是什么都没有。
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship docked at his side of the island。最后,第一个人祈求能有一艘船,让他跟他的妻子可以离开小岛。早上醒来,他看到一艘船就停泊在他这里的岸边。
The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island, considering the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings since none of his prayers had been answered。第一个人和他太太上了船,他决定把第二个人留在那个小岛上。他认为另一个人不值得得到上帝的恩赐,因为他的祈祷一个也没应验。
As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"正当船要离开的时候,第一个人听到天上传来轰隆的声音说:“为什么你把你的同伴留在岛上?
"My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t deserve anything."第一个人回答说:“上帝的赐予都归我独享,因为是我祈求而来的。他的祈祷全都没应验,所以他不配得到任何东西。
