\"I wish,\" the boy went on, \"That I could be a brother like that.\"
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, \"Would you like to take a ride in my car?\"
\"Oh yes, I'd love that.\"
After a short ride, the boy turned with his eyes aglow, said, \"Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?\"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. \"Will you stop where those two steps are?\" the boy asked.
He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.
\"There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs.
His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm gonna give you one just like it . . . then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.\"
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: \"It is more blessed to give . . .\"
聖誕節時,保羅的哥哥送他一輛新車。聖誕節當天,保羅離開辦公室時,一個男孩繞著那輛閃閃發亮的新車,十分讚歎地問:
\"先生,這是你的車?\"
保羅點點頭:\"這是我哥哥送給我的聖誕節禮物。\"男孩滿臉驚訝,支支吾吾地說:\"你是說這是你哥送的禮物,沒花你一分錢?天哪,我真希望也能……\"
保羅當然知道男孩他真想希望什麼。他希望能有一個象那樣的哥哥。但是小男孩接下來說的話卻完全出乎了保羅的意料。
\"我希望自己能成為送車給弟弟的哥哥。\"男孩繼續說。

保羅驚愕地看著那男孩,衝口而出地說:\"你要不要坐我的車去兜風?\"
\"哦,當然好了,我太想坐了!\"
車開了一小段路後,那孩子轉過頭來,眼睛閃閃發亮,對我說:\"先生,你能不能把車子開到我家門前?\"
