 Wrong Lesson
The minister's theme was the beneficent wisdom of God who knows
which of us grow in the sunlight and which of us need the shade.
He took an example from the flower garden.
"You know you plant rose in the sunlight," he said, "but if you
want your fuchsias to grow they must be kept in the shade."
After church a woman came up to him, her face radiant. "I am so
grateful for your wonderful sermon," she said, "it did me so much
good."
A glow of pride warmed the minister's heart, but it vanished a
moment later. "Yes," continued the woman, "I never knew before just
what was the matter with my fuchsias."

牧师的主题是关于上帝仁爱的智慧，他知道我们谁在阳光下成长得最好，谁需要荫凉。牧师以花圃为例。
"大家都知道在阳光下在玫瑰，"他说，"可你要想种晚樱，就必须放在荫凉处。" 
礼拜仪式之后，一位妇女走上前来，喜形于色，"我非常感激您的训导，"她说，"它让我受益匪浅。"
一股自豪感涌上牧师的心头，可没过片刻就消失了。
"真的，"妇女接着说，"我以前从来不知道我的晚樱到底出了什么问题。"
