答案

Ages upon ages ago,when angels used to wander on earth,the ground was more fruitful than it is now.Then the stalks of wheat bore not fifty or sixty fold,but four times five hundred fold.Then the wheat- ears grew from the bottom to the top of the stalk.But the men of the earth forgot that this blessing came from God,and they became idle and selfish.
One day a woman went through a wheat-field,and her little child,who accompanied her,fell into a puddle and soiled her frock.The mother tore off a handful of the wheat-ears and cleaned the child's dress with them.
Just then an angel passed by and saw her.Wrathfully he spoke:
"Wasteful woman,no longer shall the wheat-stalks produce ears.You mortals are not worthy of the gifts of Heaven!''
Some peasants who were gathering wheat in the fields heard this,and falling on their knees,prayed and entreated the angel to leave the wheat alone,not only on their account,but for the sake of the little birds who otherwise must perish of hunger.
The angel pitied their distress,and granted a part of the prayer.And from that day to this the ears of wheat have grown as they do now.
多少年前,天上还有天使飞翔,地上五谷丰饶,小麦产量是现在的上千倍,麦杆上从上到下长满麦穗,人们忘记了这是上天的恩赐,变得懒惰自私.
一天一个妇人带小孩去麦田,小孩不小心摔倒在水潭里,弄脏了衣服.妇人扯下一把麦穗给小孩擦泥巴.
这时天使飞过,都看在眼里,天使愤怒的说：“你这浪费的妇人!从今以后麦子不长穗了!你们凡人不值得上天的恩惠!”
田里其他收割的农夫听到了,一齐跪下,恳求天使开恩不让麦子停止长穗,不光为农人自己,小鸟没吃的也会死光的.
天使起了怜悯之心,准许麦子继续长穗,但长得没以前多了.从那时至今,麦子就只长这么多穗了.
