There was once a little girl named Mary that wanted a phone so badly that her parents couldn’t help bearing her crying; and so got her a phone with purple dots and a little smiley face on it.
曾经有一个叫玛丽的小女孩，她非常想要一部手机，以至于父母忍不住要她哭；于是给她买了一部紫色圆点的手机，上面有一张笑脸。
And so life went on as usual, until one day, when she was walking down town, she saw a house, and filled with decorations; she knew at once that this house was having a party with somebody. Perhaps they were celebrating a birthday, or Happy Anniversary… Mary really wanted to enter the party, and so asked them to please, please let her in and had a great time. Since they had more space they had the offer, but they had a request for her to grant them before they let her in.
的人就这样生活下去，直到有一天，当她走在镇上的时候，她看到一所房子，里面塞满了装饰；她立刻知道这所房子正在和某人开派对。也许他们在庆祝生日，或者结婚周年快乐，玛丽真的很想参加聚会，所以请他们高兴，请让她进来，玩得开心。因为他们有更大的空间，所以他们提出了条件，但他们要求她在让她进来之前先答应他们。
And that request was to make bread for the poor and buy milk for them to drink. That sounds like an easy request to grant. And so used her phone to call her dad and so to get some bread and milk for the poor to deliver, but there was a problem, “No allowed phones!” cried the owner of the house standing out, he held onto Mary’s phone and pulled it out of her hand; he erased the telephone box which was in the last, and so Mary couldn’t call her parents. After that he erased the message box which was in the first, last of all he took the batteries out, in case she had some other plans.
，这个要求是给穷人做面包，买牛奶给他们喝。这听起来是一个很容易批准的请求。于是用手机给她爸爸打电话，给穷人买些面包和牛奶送去，但有个问题，“不准打电话！&“房子的主人站在外面喊道，他抓住玛丽的电话，把它从她手里拿了出来；他擦去了最后一个电话亭，这样玛丽就不能给她父母打电话了。”。在那之后，他删除了第一个、最后一个信息框中的电池，以防她有其他计划。
“There, now you couldn’t use your phone anymore,” and the owner went inside. And so poor Mary used her allowance which was for a new dress for the school party, to buy bread and milk for the poor; she was very sad, and went back and said that she had finished her work.
“现在，你不能再使用手机了，”店主走进来。可怜的玛丽用她的零用钱为学校聚会买了一件新衣服，给穷人买了面包和牛奶；她很伤心，回去说她已经完成了她的工作。
“Where is your proof?” asked the owner again, “I-I didn’t know you wanted me to give you proof?” “Well then you are out,” and he closed the door tightly.
“你的证据在哪里？&“我——我不知道你想让我给你证据？”店主又问？&“那么你出去了，”他紧闭着门。
“你的证据呢？&“我——我不知道你想让我给你证据？”店主又问？&“那么你出去了，”他紧紧地关上门。
