Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors （家庭教师）， cards， special learning centers—in short， everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.
After the first day，little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead，he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread（铺开）out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating， he went back to his room， without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time，day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.
Finally，little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise， little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity（好奇心）. She went to his room and asked，“Son, what was it？ Was it the nuns（修女）？”
Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head，“No.”
“Well then，”she asked again，“WHAT was it？”
Little Tommy looked at her and said，“Well, on the first day of school，when I saw that man nailed（钉）to the plus sign（加号），I knew they weren"t joking.”

A ship met a storm at sea and only two of the men were able to swim to a small, deserted island. Not knowing what else to do, they agreed to pray(祈祷) to God on opposite sides of the island.
Of course, the first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit tree on his side. But there was nothing on the other man’s side.
Later the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he could leave the island, and the next morning he found a ship.
The first man decided to leave alone. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice, “Why are you leaving your friend on island?”
“My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one that prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered.”
“You are wrong!” the voice said. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of our blessings.”
“Tell me”, the first man asked, “what he prayed for?”
