嗯。。。这算是骗话吗? Err… is this considered a lie?

 

话说有两个小兄妹,父母亲从来不允许他们养宠物,怕他们不会照顾而宠物死掉。
可是有一天,哥哥不知从哪弄来一只小仓鼠,都已带回家了,爸妈也没办法。。。
做妹妹的超兴奋因这小仓鼠太可爱了,每天都拿小仓鼠出来玩。

有一天哥哥还没放学,妹妹像往常的跟小仓鼠玩,然后一时兴起,认为仓鼠需要洗澡,就帮仓鼠洗澡。。。过后,小仓鼠发冷颤,还打了几次小喷嚏,妹妹还觉得很可爱。后来把仓鼠放回去笼子里休息,不久后回来再看,发现小仓鼠乖乖、静静的睡着了。。。再不久,再回来看,发现小仓鼠还在睡觉。。。

咦?等等,不太对劲!好像仓鼠都没动静!

她赶快打开笼子,把小仓鼠抱起来。。。
糟了!小仓鼠死掉了!这下可好了,妹妹想哥哥一定会把自己痛打一顿,她竟然把哥哥的宝贝仓鼠弄死了!

The story begins with two little brother and sister, their parents never allowed them to keep pets for fear that they did not know how to take care and the pets would die.
But then one day, from somewhere the brother (who is older) brought back a little hamster, and since it was already brought home, the parents could not do anything…
The little sister was super excited as the hamster was really cute and she took it out to play everyday.

One day, the big brother was still at school, the little sister as usual played with the little hamster. Then she had this sudden idea to bathe the little hamster and she did… After the bath, the little hamster shuddered a little and gave a few tiny sneezes and the little sister found that very cute indeed. Then she put the hamster back into the cage to rest and returned to check on it after a while and found that the little hamster was obediently and quietly sleeping… After some time she came back again and noticed that the little hamster was still sleeping…

Hang on! Something isn’t right! Looks like the hamster was not breathing!

She quickly opened the cage and carried the hamster in her hand…
Oh no! The little hamster is dead! Oh no, I’m in big trouble! The little sister thought her big brother would certainly beat her up for killing his precious hamster!

 

 

在这样紧要的生死关头你会想到谁?你会向谁求救?
唉,当然是牧师!!
所以这妹妹就哭丧着脸向我求救,问我该怎么办。。。我听了也很不耐烦,但又想这哥哥脾气也不太好,妹妹真的是大难临头了!
妹妹继续哭(这是她最擅长的,到如今还是),我就大发慈心在想要怎样解决,因为再过一会儿哥哥就放学了。。。

最后我说:好了,好了,别哭了!等哥哥回来,你什么都不要说,就告诉他牧师把仓鼠连笼子都送给人了。。。

然后,我就拿着笼子和死仓鼠开车去找另外一个年轻人,也是他们的朋友,我跟他说人命关天,我们一定要救这小妹妹,但我们又不可撒谎,所以一切要照我的计划进行。
我说我今天把这笼子和死仓鼠送给你,如果哥哥来问,你就说牧师真的把笼子连仓鼠都送给你了,但没必要说仓鼠死掉了,明白吗?至于这死仓鼠,你自己想办法解决吧。

这年轻人当然也是乖乖的唯命是从,接过了笼子和死仓鼠,至于他后来怎样处理那仓鼠,我也没过问。。。

In an urgent life and death situation like this, who would you think of? Who would you turn to for help?
Sigh~ the pastor of course!
So the little girl with her crying face came to plead for my help and asked me what to do… I was kind of irritated too by her story but I also knew that the brother was kind of hot-tempered, so I knew big trouble was lying ahead for this little girl!
She continued crying (that is what she is best at even till this day), so I was moved with great compassion to think of a solution for in a little while the brother would be home…

Finally I said: Alright, alright, stop crying! When your brother comes home, don’t say anything, just tell him Pastor has given his hamster together with the cage to someone else…

Then I took the cage with the dead hamster and drove to look for another young man, their friend too. I told this young man this is a matter of life and death, we must save this little girl, but at the same time we cannot lie, therefore do exactly as I have planned.
I said I give you this day this cage and hamster, and if the big brother comes to ask you, just say pastor has indeed given you the hamster with the cage, but there is no need to say the hamster is already dead, understand? As for the dead hamster, you find a way to settle it yourself.

Of course the young man had to obey, he accepted the cage and dead hamster obediently. As for what he did with the hamster after that, I did not ask…

 

 

哥哥放学回家很兴奋的要跟小仓鼠玩,发现仓鼠和笼子不见了!就问妹妹他的仓鼠在哪里,妹妹照着我教的回答说,牧师把仓鼠送给人了。哥哥听了很愕然,就问牧师无端端的干嘛把他的仓鼠送人??妹妹说你自己去问牧师吧。。。

哥哥虽然凶,但还是没有牧师凶,所以他也不敢来问牧师,就接受了这残酷的事实,很可能心里非常受创。。。虽然不敢问牧师,可是心里一直很纳闷牧师为什么会这样做。。。

多年过后,大家都长大了,哥哥和妹妹都从国外大学毕业回来了,现在两个都是很优秀的律师。是今年吧,有一次大家聚集在我家,也不知何故提起了那只死仓鼠的事,提到我送死仓鼠给人等等。。。哥哥越听越莫名其妙,就问我他这些年来隐藏在心中的困惑,我才发现我都还没告诉他真相!才一五一十的把来龙去脉说出来。。。

大家都大笑一场,童年往事,当时他还那么受伤,对我也有一点不平衡,没经过他许可就随便把他心爱的仓鼠送给人!!!哈哈哈哈!!

请问这算是骗话吗?哈哈!!另,你们知道那妹妹、哥哥、还有收下死仓鼠的年轻人是谁吗?哈哈哈哈!!

(***注:这只是一个幽默篇,那些没幽默感或宗教意识和批判性很强又超属灵的人,请放轻松,哈哈。。。)

The big brother came home from school excitedly looking for his little hamster to play but he found no cage and no hamster! He asked the little sister and the sister answered as I taught her and said Pastor has given the hamster to someone. The brother was very shocked, so he asked why would Pastor give the hamster away out of the blue?? The sister asked him to go and ask Pastor himself…

Though the brother was fierce, he was still not as fierce as Pastor, so he did not dare to come and ask Pastor, he just accepted this cruel fact and probably traumatized by the loss… Though he did not dare to ask Pastor, the puzzle remained in his heart as to why Pastor would do a thing like that…

Many years later, they have all grown up and both brother and sister have graduated from overseas and are outstanding lawyers now. It must have been this year, there was once they gathered at my house and somehow someone mentioned the story of the dead hamster, and said something about me giving a dead hamster to someone… the big brother got more and more curious and asked me the question and doubt he had been keeping in his heart all these years. Then I realized I had never told him the actual story! So I related all the details to him then…

We all had a good laugh, childhood memories, and he was so hurt then and was even feeling kind of “imbalance” with me that I did not ask his permission before giving his hamster away!!! Hahahaha!!

So, do you think this constitutes a lie? Haha…
Also, do you know who the little sister , the big brother and the young man who accepted the dead hamster were? Hahahaha!!
