大洪水

鸭绒25（译）

2024年11月9日

连续几天都在下雨。可怕的洪水席卷了大地。水位上涨，一名男子被迫爬上他家的屋顶。

随着水位越来越高。一名男子划着划艇出现，并让他上船。

“不。”屋顶上的人回答，“我相信上帝。上帝会救我的。”

于是，划艇离开了。屋顶上的人祈祷上帝来拯救他。

水位越来越高。突然，出现了一艘动力快艇。

“快上船！”船上的一名男子喊道。

“不。”屋顶上的人回答，“我相信上帝。上帝会救我的。”

于是，快艇也离开了。屋顶上的人还是祈祷上帝拯救他。

水位继续上涨。一架直升机出现了。飞行员通过扩音器宣布他将向屋顶上的人放下一根绳子。

“不。”屋顶上的人回答，“我相信上帝。上帝会救我的。”

于是，直升机飞走了。屋顶上的人继续祈求上帝救他。

水越涨越高。最后，水涨得太高，屋顶上的人被冲走了。可怜的人淹死了。

到达天堂后，这个人径直走到上帝面前。

“天父。”他说，“我相信你。我祈求你救我。但你什么也没做。为什么？”

上帝疑惑地看着他，回答说：“我给你派了两艘船和一架直升机，你还指望我怎么救你呢？”

原文： The Big Flood

It had been raining for days and days，and a terrible flood had come over the land。

The waters rose so high that one man was forced to climb onto the roof of his house。

As the waters rose higher and higher，a man in a rowboat appeared，and told him to get in。

“No。”replied the man on the roof，“I have faith in the Lord，the Lord will save me。”

So the man in the rowboat went away。The man on the roof prayed for God to save him。

The waters rose higher and higher，and suddenly a speedboat appeared。

“Climb in！”shouted a man in the boat。

“No。”replied the man on the roof，“I have faith in the Lord，the Lord will save me。”

So the man in the speedboat went away。The man on the roof prayed for God to save him。

The waters continued to rise。A helicopter appeared and over the loudspeaker，the pilot announced he would lower a rope to the man on the roof。

“No。”replied the man on the roof，“I have faith in the Lord，the Lord will save me。”

So the helicopter went away。The man on the roof prayed for God to save him。

The waters rose higher and higher，and eventually they rose so high that the man on the roof was washed away，and alas，the poor man drowned。

Upon arriving in heaven，the man marched straight over to God。

“Heavenly Father。”he said，“I had faith in you。I prayed to you to save me，and yet you did nothing。Why？”

God gave him a puzzled look，and replied：“I sent you two boats and a helicopter，what more did you expect？”
