美国加州的一位牧师罗伯特·H·舒勒在宣讲布道时经常说一句话:“任何傻瓜都能数出一个苹果有多少粒种子,然而只有上天才知晓一粒种子里面有多少个苹果。”作为舒勒先生的一名听众,农场主安斯利·米勒对这句话深有体会。那是在1977年,那年天气特别糟糕,雨水太多,他种的庄稼几乎颗粒无收。在10月的收获季节,他走在自家的地里,看着满目稀稀落落的豆荚,走上去一捏,大多数都是瘪的。 In a preaching sermon, Robert H. Schuler, a pastor in California, USA, often says: “Any fool can figure out how many seeds an apple has, yet only the heavens know how many apples a seed has. ”As an audience of Mr. Schuler, farmer Arsley Miller understood this sentence deeply. It was in 1977, when the weather was particularly bad and there was too much rain and his crops were scarcely cropped. In the harvest season of October, he walked his own field, looking at sparsely populated pods, going to pinch, most of them deflated.
