夏    娃    的    孩    子    们   

 亚    当    和    夏    娃    被    赶    出    乐    园    后   ， 被    迫    在    贫    瘠    的    土    地    上    建    造    自    己    的    家    园   ， 躬    耕    劳    作   ， 养    家    糊    口   ， 亚    当    种    地   ， 夏    娃    纺    织   。 他    们    每    年    都    会    有    一    个    孩    子    降    临    人    世   ， 但    这    些    孩    子    都    各    不    相    同   ， 有    的    漂    亮   ， 有    的    难    看   。 过    了    相    当    长    的    一    段    时    间   ， 上    帝    派    了    一    名    天    使    到    人    间   ， 告    诉    他    们    自    己    将    去    看    亚    当    全    家   。 而    夏    娃    呢   ， 看    到    上    帝    如    此    宽    厚    仁    慈   ， 心    情    格    外    高    兴   ， 赶    紧    把    房    间    打    扫    干    净   ， 饰    以    花    朵   ， 铺    以    花    毯   。 然    后    她    把    孩    子    们    引    进    来   ， 他    们    全    是    那    些    漂    亮    的    娃    娃   。 她    给    他    们    洗    澡   、 梳    头   、 穿    衣   ， 还    教    他    们    在    上    帝    面    前    讲    礼    貌   、 懂    规    矩   ； 学    会    在    上    帝    面    前    彬    彬    有    礼    地    鞠    躬    行    礼   ， 伸    出    双    手    谦    虚    谨    慎    地    回    答    他    提    出    的    问    题   。 然    而    那    些    难    看    的    孩    子    们    却    不    让    出    来    见    人   ， 一    个    被    藏    在    干    草    下   ， 一    个    躲    在    屋    檐    下   ， 一    个    藏    在    草    垛    里   ， 一    个    躲    在    壁    炉    中   ， 一    个    藏    在    地    窖    里   ， 一    个    躲    在    浴    盆    下   ， 一    个    在    酒    桶    下   ， 一    个    在    旧    毛    衣    柜    里   ， 两    个    蒙    在    作    衣    服    用    的    布    料    下   ， 还    有    两    个    藏    在    夏    娃    做    鞋    用    的    皮    革    底    下   。 她    刚    准    备    就    绪   ， 就    听    到    了    一    阵    敲    门    声   。 亚    当    从    门    缝    里    往    外    望    去   ， 一    看    来    者    正    是    上    帝   ， 便    赶    紧    恭    恭    敬    敬    地    开    门   ， 把    上    帝    请    了    进    来   。 上    帝    一    进    门    就    看    见    一    排    漂    亮    的    娃    娃    在    他    面    前    又    是    鞠    躬   ， 又    是    伸    手   ， 又    是    下    跪   。 于    是    上    帝    便    开    始    赐    福    他    们   ， 他    把    手    放    在    一    个    孩    子    的    头    上    说   ：" 你    会    成    为    一    个    统    治    四    方    的    国    王   。" 接    着    又    对    另    一    个    说   ：" 你    会    成    为    一    个    王    子   。"" 你    会    成    为    一    个    伯    爵   。"" 你    会    成    为    一    个    骑    士   。"" 你    将    成    为    一    个    贵    族   。"" 你    将    成    为    一    个    镇    民   。"" 你    是    个    商    人   。"" 你    是    一    名    学    者   。"...... 如    此    这    般    地    把    最    好    的    祝    福    都    给    了    那    些    漂    亮    的    孩    子    们   。 夏    娃    看    到    上    帝    是    如    此    地    仁    慈    宽    厚   ， 便    想   ：" 如    果    我    把    那    些    丑    娃    娃    也    带    出    来   ， 上    帝    可    能    也    会    赐    福    他    们    呢   ！" 于    是    她    赶    紧    把    那    些    孩    子    找    出    来   ， 只    见    他    们    从    草    堆    里   、 茅    草    丛    中   、 壁    炉    里    还    有    其    它    地    方    纷    纷    钻    了    出    来   ， 一    个    个    又    脏   、 又    破   、 又    丑   。 上    帝    见    了    他    们    笑    着    说   ：" 我    会    赐    福    这    些    孩    子    的   。" 他    又    把    手    放    在    第    一    个    孩    子    的    头    上    说   ：" 你    会    成    为    一    名    农    夫   。"" 你    会    成    为    一    名    打    鱼    的   。"" 你    会    成    为    一    名    铁    匠   。"" 你    将    是    制    革    的   。"" 你    是    一    名    织    工   。"" 你    是    一    个    鞋    匠   。"" 你    是    一    个    裁    缝   。"" 你    是    一    名    陶    工   。"" 你    是    一    个    赶    车    的   。"" 你    是    一    名    海    员   。"" 你    是    一    名    信    差   。"" 你    将    有    干    不    完    的    家    务    活   。"......。 夏    娃    听    到    这    些    赶    紧    说   ：" 主    啊   ！ 你    的    这    些    赏    赐    多    么    不    公    平   ！ 他    们    毕    竟    都    是    我    的    孩    子   ， 都    是    我    把    他    们    带    到    这    个    世    界   ， 你    给    予    他    们    的    恩    赐    应    该    相    等    才    对    呀   ！" 但    上    帝    回    答    说   ：" 夏    娃    你    可    不    懂   。 这    些    孩    子    们    将    世    世    代    代    生    息    繁    衍    下    去   ， 应    该    是    这    样   ， 必    须    是    这    样   。 如    果    他    们    都    是    皇    亲    国    舅   ， 那    谁    来    种    谷   、 打    麦   、 磨    面   、 做    面    包    呢   ？ 谁    又    是    铁    匠   、 织    工   、 木    匠   、 苦    力    和    裁    缝    呢   ？ 每    个    人    都    有    他    自    己    的    位    置   ， 这    样    才    能    互    帮    互    助   ， 就    像    大    家    都    是    一    个    身    体    里    的    胁    骨    互    相    支    持    着    彼    此    一    样   。" 夏    娃    忙    说   ：" 主    啊   ， 原    谅    我    出    口    不    逊    吧   ， 神    佑    我    儿   。"
