英语六级晨读美文100篇:A Woman’s Tears(33)

　　Why are you crying? he asked his Mom.

　　Because Im a woman. she told him.

　　I dont understand, he said.

　　His Mom just hugged him and said, And you never will ...

　　Later the little boy asked his father, Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?

　　All women cry for no reason. was all his Dad could say.

　　The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

　　Finally he put in a call to God;

　　when God got on the phone, the man said, God, why do women cry so easily?

　　God said,When I made woman she had to be special.

　　I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world;

　　yet gentle enough to give comfort.

　　I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth

　　and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

　　I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up

　　and take care of her family through fatigue and sickness without complaining.

　　I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances,

　　even when her child has hurt them very badly.

　　I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults

　　and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

　　I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife,

　　but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

　　I gave her a tear to shed.

　　Its hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.

　　Its her only weakness.

　　Its a tear for mankind.
