英语美文：A Woman's Tears 女人的眼泪
英语课
" Why are you crying?" he asked his Mom.
" Because I'm a woman." she told him.
" I don't understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said,
" And you never will" ...
Later the little boy asked his father,
" Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
" All women cry for no reason"
was all his Dad could say...
The little boy grew up and became a man,
still wondering why women cry...
Finally he put in a call to God;
when God got on the phone, the man said,
" God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said... " When I made woman
she had to be special. I made her shoulders
strong enough to carry the weight of the world;
yet gentle enough to give comfort...
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth
and the rejection 1 that many times comes
from her children...
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going
when everyone else gives up
and take care of her family
through fatigue 2 and sickness
without complaining...
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children
under any and all circumstances,
even when her child has hurt them very badly....
I gave her strength to carry her husband
through his faults
and fashioned her from his rib 3 to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that
a good husband never hurts his wife,
but sometimes tests her strengths
and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
I gave her a tear to shed,
It's hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.
It's her only weakness...
It's a tear for mankind..."
