Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. One day the child asked God' "They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow' but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God replied' "Among the many angels' I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for you. and will take care of you." "But'" said the child' "tell me here in Heaven' I don't do anything else but sing and smile. That's what I need to be happy!" God said' "your angel will sing for you every day. And you will fell your angel's love and be happy." "And"'said the child' "How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me' if I don't know the language that men talk?" "That's easy'" God said' "your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear' and with much patience and care' your angel will teach you how to speak." The child looked up at God' saying' "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God smiled at the child saying' "your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." The child said' "I've heard on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?" God put his arm around the child' saying' "your angel will defend you - even if it means risking life!" The child looked sad' saying' "But I will always be sad beacause I will not see you any more." God hugged the child' "your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me' even though I will always be next to you. At that moment there was much place in Heaven' but voice from earth could already be heard. The child in a hurry' asked softly' "oh' God. If I am about to leave now' please tell me my angel's name!" God replied' "your angel's name is of no importance... you will simply call her MOMMY !"

这篇小文，看了真是让人感动，翻译出来给各位MM看，但愿不会因为我笨笨的英文和翻译让它逊色太多。

从前有一个孩子准备去人间。 一天这个孩子问上帝：“他们告诉我您明天要送我去地球， 但是我是如此弱小和无助，我怎样在那里生存呢？” 上帝回答：“我在众多的天使中为你选择了一位。 她会在那里等着你，照顾你。”

“但是，”孩子说， “天堂的人告诉我，我什么也做不了， 只有歌声和微笑才能让我感到快乐。” 上帝说：“你的天使每天会为你唱歌，对你微笑， 你会感受到你的天使对你的爱，你会感到快乐。” “但是，”孩子又说， “如果我不懂得他们的语言， 当人们对我说话时，我又怎么能够明白呢？”

“那很简单，”上帝说，“你的天使会用 你所听过的最美丽最温柔的话语跟你说话，解释给你听， 你的天使还会带着极大的耐心和爱心教你如何说话。” 孩子望着上帝接着说道，“但是， 当我想和您说话的时候我该怎么办呢？” 上帝看着孩子笑了： “你的天使会教你把双手放在一起，进行祷告。”

孩子又说：“我听说地球上有很多坏人， 谁来保护我呢？” 上帝张开双臂搂住孩子，说： “如果在生命中遇到艰险， 你的天使会一如既往的守护在你身旁。” 孩子黯然起来，说： “但是我总是会伤心的，因为我将见不到您了。” 上帝拥抱着孩子： “你的天使会一直和你谈起我， 并且教给你回到我这里的方法。

即便如此，我还是会一直在你的身旁。” 这时候天堂里充满了详和， 但是已经可以听到地球上的声音。 孩子匆忙的、深情的说道： “噢，上帝，我就要离开了，请告诉我， 我的天使的名字！” 上帝回答，“你的天使的名字并不重要……， 你只要简单的称呼她作 ‘妈妈’。”
