我有个朋友叫保罗，他的哥哥送给他一辆车作为圣诞礼物。圣诞节前夜，保罗下班走出办公室，看见一个淘气的小男孩绕着他那辆崭新的车欣赏着，不时发出赞叹声。

“这是您的车吗，先生？”他问道。

保罗点了点头，说：“这是我哥哥送给我的圣诞礼物。”男孩很吃惊，激动得有些语无伦次：“您是说这是您哥哥送的，您没花一分钱？噢，我希望……”

保罗当然知道男孩希望什么，无非希望也有这样一位哥哥。但是，小男孩接下来的话却完全出乎他的意料。

“我希望，”男孩继续说道,“我也成为那样的哥哥，可以送车给弟弟。”

保罗吃惊地看着男孩，随口问道：“你想坐我的车去兜兜风吗？”

“哦，当然想了，我太高兴了。”

车开了一会儿后，那孩子转过头来，用殷切的眼神望着保罗说：“先生，您能把车子开到我家门口吗？”
