[00:07.52]Give Me a Big of Chocolates
[00:10.37]John liked chocolates very much,but his mother never gave him any,because they were bad for his teeth,she thought.
[00:18.39]But John had a very nice grandfather.The old man loved his grandson very much,
[00:24.27]and sometimes he brought John chocolates when he came to visit him.Then his mother let him eat them,
[00:30.04]because she wanted to make the old man happy.
[00:32.73]One evening,a few days before John's seventh birthday ,he was saying his prayers in his bedroom before he went to bed.
[00:40.91]"Please,God,"he shouted,"make them give me a big box of chocolates for my birthday on Saturday."
[00:46.50]His mother was in the kitchen,but she heard the small boy shouting and went into his bedroom quickly.
[00:52.95]"Why are you shouting,John?"she asked her son."God can hear you when you talk quietly."
[00:59.35]"I know,"answered the clever boy with a smile,"but Grandfather's in the next room,and he can't."
