A Miser's Prayer
There was once a very poor person who was also very stingy. But his manner of praying to God must be one of the most famous, even more so than the Bible's "Give us this day ourdaily bread." (Matthew 6:11)So the old miser was heard sayinghis prayers like this:
"Oh, my God, my Lord! My Almighty! If the Almighty - may
Your holy name be blessed forever - if You gave me a hundred
thousand dollars, I would immediately give ten thousand to
the poor. I promise I would! You know that, don't You? And if
the Almighty - may Hes be blessed - does not trust me about
my promise, then please deduct the ten thousand in advance
and only give me ninety thousand."
吝啬鬼的祷告词有一个很穷又很吝啬的人向上帝祷告。不过他的祷告方式非常有名，简直比圣经上那段「我们日用的饮食，今日赐给我们」（马太福音6:11）的祷告辞还厉害。这个吝啬老人的祷告词据说是这样的：「哦！我的上帝，全能的主啊！愿您的圣名永世流传！如果您赐给我十万元，我会立刻将一万元捐给穷人！我一定会信守承诺，上帝您应该清楚我的为人！全能的上帝啊！若您真的不相信我的话，那就请先把这一万元扣掉，给我九万元就好了！」
