A little boy asked his mother, “Why are you crying?” “Because I’m a woman,” she told him.
“I don’t understand,” he said. His mum just hugged him and said, “You 36 will.”
Later the little boy asked his father, “Why does my mother seem to cry for no reason?” “All women cry for no reason,” 37 so much could his dad say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still 38 why women cry. 39 he gave a call to God, and when God got on the phone, he asked, “God, why do women cry so 40 ?”
God said, “When I made the woman she had to be 41 . I made her shoulders 42 enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give 43 .”
“I made her 44 childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else 45 , and to take care of her family in spite of sickness and fatigue (勞累) without 46 . I gave her the sensitivity to 47 her children under any and all circumstances, 48 her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her wisdom to carry her husband through his 49 . I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never 50 his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him 51 . And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. She can use it whenever it is needed.”
“You see, the beauty of a woman is not in the 52 she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she 53 her hair. The 54 of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart and the place where love 55 .”
