    Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God， “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless？”

    God replied， “Among the many angels， I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”

    But the child wasn't sure he really wanted to go. “But tell me， here in Heaven， I don't do anything else but sing and smile， that's enough for me to be happy.”

    “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy.”

    “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me，” the child continued， “if I don't know the language that men talk？”

    God patted him on the head and said， “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear， and with much patience and care， your angel will teach you how to speak.”

    “And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you？”

    But God had an answer for that question too. “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”

    “I've heard that on earth there are bad men， who will protect me？”

    “Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life！”

    “But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore，” the child continued warily.

    God smiled on the young one. “Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me， even though I will always be next to you.”

    At that moment there was much peace in Heaven， but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question， softly， “Oh God， if I am about to leave now， please tell me my angel's name.”

    God touched the child on the shoulder and answered， “Your angel's name is not hard to remember. You will simply call her Mommy.”

    從前有一個(gè)孩子準(zhǔn)備出生。所以有一天他問(wèn)上帝， "他們告訴我，你送我到地球的明天，但我應(yīng)該如何去生活，有那么小和無(wú)助" ？

    上帝回答說(shuō)： "在眾多的天使，我選擇了一個(gè)給你。她會(huì)等著你，并會(huì)照顧你" .

    但孩子不知道他是否真的想去。 " ，但告訴我，這里的天堂，我什么都不做，否則，但唱歌和微笑，那足夠我快樂(lè)" .

    "你的天使會(huì)唱歌，你也將微笑為你的每一天。你會(huì)覺(jué)得你的天使的愛(ài)與快樂(lè)" .

    "我應(yīng)該如何去完成可以理解的時(shí)候，人們都說(shuō)，我說(shuō)： "孩子繼續(xù)說(shuō)： "如果我不知道的語(yǔ)言，男人談" ？

    上帝拍拍他的頭說(shuō)： "你的天使會(huì)告訴你最美麗的，并說(shuō)漂亮話(huà)，你將永遠(yuǎn)聽(tīng)到的，并給予很多的耐心和關(guān)懷，你的天使將教導(dǎo)您如何發(fā)言" .

    "有什么我會(huì)做的時(shí)候，我想你談?wù)?quot; ？

    但是上帝在回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題太大。 "你的天使將雙手放在一起，并會(huì)教你如何祈禱" .

    "我聽(tīng)說(shuō)地球上有壞男人，他們會(huì)保護(hù)我" ？

    "你的天使將會(huì)保衛(wèi)你，即使這意味著冒她的生命" ！

    "但我將永遠(yuǎn)難過(guò)，因?yàn)槲也粫?huì)見(jiàn)你了， "孩子繼續(xù)側(cè)目。

    上帝微笑著對(duì)年輕的一個(gè)。 "你的天使將永遠(yuǎn)和大家談?wù)勎視?huì)教你的方法讓你回來(lái)給我，即使我將永遠(yuǎn)你旁邊" .

    就在這個(gè)時(shí)候有很多和平的天堂，而是聲音，從地球上已經(jīng)能夠被聽(tīng)到。孩子知道他已開(kāi)始對(duì)他的旅程即將展開(kāi)。他問(wèn)上帝一個(gè)問(wèn)題，悄悄地， "噢上帝，如果我即將離開(kāi)，現(xiàn)在，請(qǐng)告訴我我的天使的名字" .

    上帝感動(dòng)了孩子的肩膀，并回答了， "你的天使的名字并不難記。你干脆叫她媽媽" .
