A young man was going to finish school. For
a long time he was looking forward to getting a beautiful sports car. He knew
his father could well afford it, so he told him all he wanted.
Then on the morning of his graduation, his
father called him into his study. His father told him how proud he was to have
such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a
beautiful gift box. To his surprise, the young man opened the box and found a
lovely Bible(圣经)with his name on it. Angrily, he said to
his father “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then rushed out of the
house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and
the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful
family. He thought he should go to see his father. He had not seen him since
that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements(安排),
he received a phone telling him his father had passed away. He had to come home
immediately and take care of the things that his father left him.
When he began to search
through his father's important papers, he saw the still new Bible, just as he
had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he
was reading, a car key with a tag(标牌) dropped from the back of the Bible. On the
tag was the date of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”.
Sadness and regret filled his heart.
