He listened in silence, and then said, “I know a family who needs just about everything.”
When they reached a building, the driver said, “They live on the third floor.” Ursula shook her head, “Would you take this dress to them and tell them it’s from someone …someone who has everything.”
Early the next day, Ursula7everyone for the presents she received. Then, she began to8why there seemed to be none from her. She told about what she did the night before.

The finest and most sought-after (广受欢迎的) violins were handcrafted by an Italian violin maker over1years ago. The man’s name was Antonius Stradivarius. He was born in 1644 and began his career2a violin maker’s apprentice (学徒). Working on his own by 1680, he became determined to make22 that could reproduce tones as rich as those produced by the human voice. He3several shapes and styles for his violins until he arrived at a design that pleased him. During his career he crafted 1,100 violins. Those in4have become treasured possessions.
Unfortunately, the secret of the Stradivarius violin died with its maker. During his lifetime Stradivarius kept his notes safely5, even his two sons, who helped him in his workshop, did not know all the steps involved in each violin’s construction.
Through the years, many experts have offered6explanations for the unique tone of a “Strad”. Some say it is due to the violin’s shape. Others suggest that the secret7the special properties (特性) of the wood, which Stradivarius obtained from native Italian trees that no longer exist. The most widely accepted explanation is that it is created by the varnish(清漆)that the8used to coat his violins. Chemists have analyzed as closely as possible the varnish and have found its9has improved the sound of many violins.10, no other violin maker has been able to fully reproduce the tone of the Stradivarius’s violins.

A Woman and a Fork
There was a young woman was diagnosed with a terminal illness and could only live three months. So as she was getting her things "in order," she1her Rabbi (法师)and had him come to her house to2certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the3, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in.
Everything was in order and the Rabbi was preparing to leave4the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
"There's one more thing," she said5. "What' that?" "This is very important, I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand."
The Rabbi stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn't it?” the young woman asked. "Well, to be honest, I'm 6by the request," said the Rabbi.
The young woman7. “My grandmother once told me this story, and from then on, I have always done so. I have also, always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of8.
In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main9were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, 'Keep your fork.' It was my favorite part10I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie…”
So, I just want people to see me there in that casket(棺材)with a fork in my hand and I want them to11"What's with the fork?"12I want you to tell them: "Keep your fork…the best is yet to come."
The Rabbi's eyes were13up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of14than he did. She had a better grasp of15heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.
She knew that something better was coming. At the funeral people were walking by the young woman's casket and they saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork 16lin her right hand. Over and over, the Rabbi heard the question "What's with the fork?" And over and over he 17.
During his message, the Rabbi told the people of the18he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and what it symbolized to19. The Rabbi told the people how he could not stop thinking about the20and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either.
He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you ever so gently, that the best is yet to come.
