    Paul received a car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a boy was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it.

    "Is this your car, mister?" he said.

    Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? Oh, I wish…"He hesitated.

    Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said shocked Paul all the way down to his heels.

    "I wish." the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that."

    Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, and then impulsively (冲动地) he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"

    "Oh. yes, I'd love that."

    After a short ride, the boy turned to Paul and said. "Mister, would you mind driving to my house?"

    Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He waned to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked

    He ran up the steps. In a little while he came back. carrying his little disabled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step. and pointed to the car.

    "Buddy just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."

    Paul got out and lifted the boy into the front seat of his car  The older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve. Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said. "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
