It was raining heavily. I had to wait inside the supermarket like a lot of other people did. A little girl and her mother were waiting, too. The girl looked like 5 or 6 years old. She made me think of my daughter Alice. They are about the same age.
After a few minutes, the girl got bored and she said to her mom, "Mom, let's run through the rain!"
"No, dear. We'll wait until it slows down a little." said Mom.
This young child waited about one more minute and said again, "Mom, let's run through the rain!"
"We'll get wet if we do," her mom said.
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said.
"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer (癌症), you said, 'We have got through (已经熬过) this, and then we will get through anything!'
All of the people stopped talking. It was a time when innocent trust (纯真的信任) could grow into faith (信心). The mom thought for a minute and said "You are right, sweetheart. Let's run through the rain! If we get wet, maybe we just need washing." Then they ran out.
They got wet. But some people followed them ▲ .
And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
