[00:00.53]A Brother Like That 兄弟情深 [00:06.55]Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. [00:11.14]On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, [00:14.87]a street child was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. [00:20.23]“Is this your car, Mister?”he asked. [00:23.07]Paul nodded,“My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” [00:27.45]The boy was astounded, [00:29.86]“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? [00:34.67]Boy, I wish...”He hesitated. [00:37.95]Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. [00:41.45]He was going to wish he had a brother like that. [00:44.85]But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. [00:51.08]“I wish,”the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.” [00:55.78]Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, [01:01.48]“Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?” [01:04.75]“Oh yes, I’d love that.” [01:07.27]After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, [01:12.31]“Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?” [01:16.13]Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. [01:21.28]He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. [01:26.25]But Paul was wrong again. [01:28.28]“Will you stop where those two steps are?”the boy asked. [01:33.53]He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, [01:37.35]but he was not coming fast. [01:39.53]He was carrying his little crippled brother. [01:42.82]He sat him down on the bottom step, [01:45.76]then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. [01:49.37]“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. [01:52.87]His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. [01:57.57]And some day I’m gonna give you one just like it... [02:01.63]then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows [02:06.28]that I’ve been trying to tell you about.” [02:07.97]Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. [02:12.45]The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him [02:16.72]and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. [02:20.44]That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant [02:24.60]when he had said:“It is more blessed to give...” [02:27.99]My Holiday Wish for the World Is That We all could Be Brothers Like That.
