（单词翻译:单击）

Each Sunday the minister called the children to the front of the church while he told them a story. Once he brought a telephone to better illustrate¹ the idea of prayer².

"You talk to people on the telephone and don't see them on the other end of the line, right?" he began.
The children nodded yes. "Well, talking to God is like talking on the telephone. He's on the other end, but you can't see him.

He is listening though."Just then a little boy piped up and asked, "What's his number?"
