John liked chocolate (巧克力) very much., but his mother never gave him any, because they were bad
for his teeth, he thought. John had a very nice grandfather. The old man loves his grandson very much, and
sometimes he brought John chocolate when he came to visit him. Then his mother let him eat them, because
she wanted to make the old man happy.
One evening, a few days before John's birthday, he was saying his prayers (做祈禱) in his bedroom before
he went to bed. "Please, God," he shouted, "make them give me a big box of chocolate for my birthday on
Saturday. "
His mother was in the kitchen, but she heard the small boy shouting and went to his bedroom quickly.
"Why are you shouting, John?" She asked her son. "God can hear you when you talk quietly."
"I know," answered the clever boy with a smile, "but Grandfather's in the next room, and he can't."
