My husband gave my 6 year old son a $10 bill.
丈夫把一張10美元的鈔票交給了兒子。

This $10 bill went with my son everywhere, from one pair of jeans to another, one hoodie to the other.
這張鈔票跟著他走到這兒走到那兒，從一條牛仔褲的口袋轉移到另一條牛仔褲的口袋，從一件兜帽衫轉移到另一件兜帽衫。

My son would even sleep soundly with the $10 bill under his head.
他把這張鈔票放在枕頭下面，似乎這樣他就能睡得格外香甜。

You see, he was holding out to buy something special.
我明白，他想留著這張鈔票，準備買點特別的東西。

One day my son and I go to the local grocery store where a man was singing carols and ringing a bell.

My son asks me "what is he doing?"
兒子問我，“他在做什么？”

I told my son "he's singing to get our attention in hopes of collecting money for the poor or for children who don't have toys."
我告訴他，“他想通過唱歌來吸引路人的注意，這樣他就能為窮人，或者為沒有玩具的孩子們籌集善款了?！?/div>

I proceeded to keep walking but my son wasn't next to me.

I said "you made mommy very happy."
我對他說，“你讓媽媽非常開心！”

He told me "I heard a voice say go, give him the money."
他對我說，“我聽到一個聲音對我說，去吧，把你的錢給他。”

Then he says "I heard another voice say "no, keep the money, you want a toy."
接著他又說，“我聽到另一個聲音說，‘不，別給他，你不是想買個玩具的嗎？’”

I told my son "you listened to the right voice……” He looks up at me with his hands in the air and asks "but who are they"
我告訴他，“你按照第一個聲音告訴你的做了。你做得對。”他揚起臉看著我，兩手一攤，“可是，那是誰發(fā)出的聲音呢？”

I laughed and said "they're you."
我笑了，對他說，“是你的心在對你說話呀！”
