保罗当然知道男孩希望什么,无非希望也有这样一位哥哥。但是,小男孩接下来的话却完全出乎他的意料。

保罗吃惊地看着男孩,随口问道:“你想坐我的车去兜兜风吗?”
“哦,当然想了,我太高兴了。”
车开了一会儿后,那孩子转过头来,用炽热的眼神望着保罗说:“先生,您能把车子开到我家门口吗?”

“就是它,弟弟,这就是我刚刚在楼上和你说的那辆新车,是保罗的哥哥送给他的圣诞礼物,他没花一分钱哦。总有一天,我会送你这样一辆车,那样,到了圣诞节,你就可以自己去看商店里那些漂亮的饰品了,就像我以前告诉你的那些一样。”
保罗下了车,把跛脚男孩抱到前座。哥哥兴奋的眼睛闪着奇异的光芒,他也爬上车子,坐在弟弟身边。就这样,三人开始了令人难忘的假日之旅。那个圣诞夜,保罗才真正领悟耶稣讲过的道理“施与比索取更幸福……”(未完待续)
