在一場船難中，唯一的生存者隨著潮水，

漂流到了一座無人島上。
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.
他天天激動地祈禱神救他能夠早日離開此處，
回到家鄉。
他還每天注視著海上有否可搭救他的人，
但卻是除了汪洋一片，什麼也沒有。
He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him,
and every day he scanned the horizon for help,
but none seemed forthcoming.
後來，他決定用那片帶他到小島的木頭
造一個簡陋的小木屋以保護他
在這險惡的環境中生存，並且保存他所有剩下的東西。
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect
him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
但有一天，在他捕完食物後，準備回小屋時，
突然發現他的小屋竟然陷在熊熊烈火之中，大火引起的濃煙不斷向天上竄。
But then one day, after scavenging for food,he arrived home to find his little hut in flames,the smoke rolling up to the sky.
最悲慘的是：他所有的一切東西，
在這一瞬間，通通化為烏有了。
悲痛的他，氣憤的對天吶喊著：
「神啊！你怎么可以這樣對待我！」
頓時，眼淚從他的眼角中流出。
The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and
anger.God, how could you do this to me! he cried.
第二天一早，他被一艘正靠近小島的船隻的鳴笛聲所吵醒。
是的，有人來救他了。
Early the next day, however,
he was awakened by the sound of a ship that
was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.
到了船上時，他問那些船員說：「你怎麼知道我在這裡？」
How did you know I was here asked the weary man of his rescuers.
「因為我們看到了信號般的濃煙。」他們回答說。

我相信神永遠不會放棄人!
