God Helps Those Who Help Themselves
(originally in English)
A man kept praying to God to win the lotto.
Every week he prayed to win the lotto,
but many years passed and he never won the lotto.
So then one day he began crying to God, saying,
"I've been praying to You for years just to win the
lotto so that I could build my house.
How come You've never answered my prayers?"
So God asked him, "Did you ever buy a lotto ticket?"
And the man said, "No."

有个人一直祈求上帝让他中乐透，每个礼拜都
祷告能够中乐透，但是好多年都从来没有中过。
有一天，他哭着向上帝说：「我一直祈求您让我中
乐透彩金来盖房子，但是这麽多年了，为什麽您都
没有回应我？」上帝问他：「你有没有去买过乐透
彩券？」那个人回答：「没有！」
