1 Corinthians 13: 1 & 13

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

A Birthday Gift (S.2A Jack Cheng)

Today was Sue’s birthday. She held a birthday party. Her friends gave many beautiful gifts to her. She was happy but she looked forward to my present. One week ago, I told her,

“Sue, I will give you an unforgettable birthday gift.”

“I look forward to your gift,” Sue said happily.

Now she is hoping to see my gift. Everyone is hoping to see my gift too.

I went to Sue. I gave a bear doll to her. She was shocked and soon became angry. Everyone was surprised. They did not understand why I gave a bear doll to her. They were a bit disappointed with my gift. The doll was cheap.

“This was the gift?” Sue said sadly. I looked at her with a smile. She was unhappy.

Suddenly there was a bicycle coming towards Sue. I pushed her away. Next, the bicycle hit me. Then I was taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital. I was holding the bear doll tight in my hand.

Finally, Sue came to the hospital. She came to see me. She cried over my injury. I took out the bear doll and pressed the doll’s belly.

“Happy birthday, Sue!” the doll said. Sue was surprised.

“Happy birthday!” I said happily. Sue hugged me. “I love you,” Sue said.
