　　A Brave Mother

 

　　Liza, a middle-aged woman, went to prepare lunch, leaving Barney, her 3-year-old-son, playing by himself in the backyard.

 

　　All of a sudden, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother’s ears, and Liza rushed into the backyard and found a big snake entwining the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Liza was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake’s mouth.

 

　　It was mother’s love that made Liza forget what she faced. She took up an old hatchet from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.

 

　　One two with the hatchet, Liza hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she was striking a mass of solid rubber. The little boy’s voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Liza’s heart was broken and she got nearly mad.

 

　　Suddenly Liza put aside the hatchet and threw herself to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into the snake’s back as if tearing a tough steak. Liza was really mad.

 

　　By and by a small piece of flesh was bit off. Liza picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snake’s back madly and savagely.

 

　　Stinking blood was spraying out of the snake’s body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest hurriedly. It had never imagined how human beings had such sharp teeth. On half way home, the snake lay, dead.

    A Child Ready To Be Born

 

　　Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born. One day the

 

　　child asked God, "They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

 

　　"Among the many angles , I have chosen one for you . She will be waiting for you and will take care of you." God replied.

 

　　"But here in Heaven, I do nothing else but singing and smiling! That's enough for me to be happy."

 

　　God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy.”

 

　　"And", said the child, "how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me , if I don't know the language that men talk?"

 

　　"That's easy, " God told the child, "Your angle will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you have never heard, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

 

　　The child looked up at God and said, "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

 

　　God smiled at the child and said, "your angel will place your hands together and teach you how to pray."

 

　　The child said, "I've heard that on earth there are bad men, Who will protect me?"

 

　　God put his arm around the child, saying, "Your angel will defend you - even if it means risking life!"

 

　　At that moment there was much peace in Heaven , but voices from earth could already be heard. The child, in a hurry, asked softly, "Oh God, I am about to leave now please tell me my angle's name!"

 

　　"It is not hard to remember, " God replied, "You will call your angel MOMMY!"
