十二张笑脸贴纸

安东尼奥能完成这项挑战吗?

1. First spot illustration is of the figure, Antonio, entertaining his little brother Zach. Antonio is probably 7-9 years old and Zach is perhaps 1 year old. 2. Second spot illustration is of Antonio catching a spider. His sister is in the background looking scared. 3. Third spot illustration is of Antonio with his next door neighbor, Mr Wakefield. They are weeding a garden. Mr Wakefield is older. and he might be wiping the sweat off his brow.

安东尼奥的初级会教师说:「我要给你们一个挑战。效法耶稣的一个方法就是帮助他人。所以,在这个星期,你要尽可能去帮助人。」

她给每个人一张纸和12张笑脸贴纸。「每次你帮助别人,就在你的纸上贴一个笑脸,然后下星期带到班上来。」

安东尼奥很兴奋能接受这项挑战,但是,听着很容易,做起来难。很快就到了星期四,他的纸上一张贴纸也没有。他祷告说:「天父,请帮我找到需要帮助的人。」

第二天早上,安东尼奥告诉妈妈这项挑战。他说:「我不知道该帮助谁!」

就在这时,安东尼奥年幼的弟弟开始哭了起来。安东尼奥说:「你做早餐时,我可以照顾查克。」

他做了一些鬼脸逗查克,让他很快咯咯地笑了起来。

妈妈说:「如果这样不能得到一张笑脸,要怎样才能得到呢?」

早餐后,安东尼奥把碗洗了,还把姊姊卧室里的一只蜘蛛捉走。再加两个笑脸!

放学后,安东尼奥帮爸爸在外面给他们的狗雷达洗澡。他们洗完后,雷达抖掉毛上的水。安东尼奥和爸爸笑了。

然后,安东尼奥看到对街的卫克菲先生在拔草。「爸爸,我可以帮他吗?他看起来又热又累。」

「这是个好主意。」爸爸说。拔掉最后一根杂草时,卫克菲先生露出灿烂的笑容。

到了星期六,安东尼奥的纸上有11个笑脸,只要再一个,他就能完成挑战!妈妈说,他们要去拜访住在疗养院的法兰西斯科叔公。这给了安东尼奥一个点子!他拿出蜡笔,画了很多张图画。

他们到了那里后,安东尼奥递给叔公一张日落的图画。法兰西斯科叔公对安东尼奥微微一笑。然后,安东尼奥把其余的图画送给住在那里的其他人。他看到很多开心的笑容!

在回家的路上,妈妈说:「如果你想的话,我们可以到店里买更多的笑脸贴纸。」

安东尼奥说:「我做这些事不是为了得到更多贴纸。我喜欢让人们开心。」

「这也会让天父和耶稣很开心!」爸爸说。

妈妈说:「你看起来也很开心。」安东尼奥满是笑容,脸颊都笑酸了。●
