(单词翻译:单击)

  " Why are you crying?" he asked his Mom.

  " Because I'm a woman." she told him.
  " I don't 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 rejection1 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 fatigue2 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 rib3 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,
  It's hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.
  It's her only weakness...
  It's a tear for mankind..."
