英文故事~The High Road Leads to a Bike－G-Beauty 的部落格

    It was a year ago that Joshua Saffle got a bike for a Christmas gift,

and he rode it every day. Until recently, the bike was gone from its usual place.

    Running to his front yard, Joshua, 9 years old, saw a man loading it into his car.

He shouted, but the man drove off.

    Mrs. Saffle said Joshua has strong faith, and told his dad that he forgave the thief.

What's more, he wanted the thief to know he was forgiven. So the next day,

he asked his mother to help him write a message on a large poster-board.

He signed it and put it in the front yard.

''To the person who stole my bike: You really hurt my feelings when you took my bike.

But I am a Christian and because Jesus forgave me, I FORGIVE YOU!!''

    When Joshua's father left for work the next day, the sign was face-down in the yard.

But then, at the end of the driveway, the bike was back, and with new handlebars, grips and tires!
