A young man came home and said, "Dad, I just got my driver's license¹ and would like to use the family car."

 

Father replied, "Ok, son, But, first, you have to get good grades in school, keep your room clean, make the yard neat², and cut your hair. Come back in a few months and then we'll see."

 

Well, several months passed and the young man came into the house with his report card in his hand, "Dad, I got great marks on my report card, I've been keeping my room as neat as a pin³, and the yard is always ship-shape. How about letting me use the car?"

 

Father replied, "That's all true, but son, you didn't cut your hair."

 

Son said, "But, dad, Jesus had long hair too."

 

Father replied, "Yes, son, you're perfectly⁴ right, And he walks everywhere he goes."

 

一个小伙子回到家跟爸爸说：“爸爸，我拿驾照了，我想开车。”

 

爸爸答道：“好的，儿子。但是，你要拿到好成绩，要把房间给收拾整齐，要把院子打扫干净，还要把头发给理了。这几个月做好了我们再谈开车的事。”

 

几个月后，小伙子拿到成绩单回到家，“爸爸，我每门功课都得了优，房间整整齐齐，院子干干净净。我能开车了吗？”

 

爸爸回答：“确实做得很好，但是儿子，你还没有理发呢。”

 

儿子说：“但是，爸爸，耶稣的头发也很长啊。”

 

爸爸回答：“是的，儿子，完全正确。但是耶稣去哪都是走着去的呀！”
