Once upon a time , there was a child ready to be born. So    16   he asked God, “They tell me you are sending to    17  , but being so small and helpless,    18   am I going to live there?”

“   19    the many angels(天使), I chose the best one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you. ” God replied.

 “But here in heaven(天堂), I do    20     else but sing and smile! That’s enough for me to be happy.”

God said, “Your angel will sing and smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and you’ll be   21  .”

The child said, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me   22    I don’t know the language that men speak?”

God told the child, “ Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweetest words you will ever hear, and with     23    patience(耐心) and care, your angel will teach you   24   .

The child said, “I’ve    25    that on the earth there are bad men, who will protect me?”

God said, “Your angel will protect you  26   it means risking her life(冒生命危險).”

“But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more.”

“Your angel will always talk to you about    27   and in face, I will always be next to you.”

At the momen0t there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from the earth could already be heard, and the child, in a hurry, asked, “ Oh , God, since I am about to    28   now, please tell me my angel’s    29    !”

“It is not hard to remember,” God replied    30  . “You will call your angel Mommy.”
