Chapter 12

CHAPTER 12 "A few years before we got lost in the cave," Pearl said, "Merle and I were looking for walnuts around the Sea of Galilee." "That's up north from the Dead Sea," Merle added. "And nowhere near as salty." "We noticed a big crowd gathering on a hillside near the water, so we ran over to see what was going on. The people had come to listen to a teacher," Pearl continued. "Yep!" said Merle. "He was traveling around the area with his friends, and news got out about what a great teacher he was. There were tons of people. Fortunately for us, we're squirrels, so we had a great treetop view!"

第十二章“在我们在山洞里迷路的几年前，”珠儿说，“梅尔和我在加利利海周围寻找核桃。” “那是死海以北，”梅尔补充说。 “而且远没有那么咸。” “我们注意到一大群人聚集在靠近水的山坡上，所以我们跑过去看看发生了什么事。 人们是来听老师讲课的，”珠儿接着说。 “是的！”莫尔说。“他和他的朋友们在这个地区旅行，消息传出了他是一个多么伟大的老师。 那里有很多人。 幸运的是，我们是松鼠，所以我们有一个很棒的树顶景观！”

"Most of the people there were poor and had lived very hard lives," Pearl said. "They had been bullied by a group of other people. The teacher told the crowd that God could bless them. He said, 'God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.'" "There were lots of blessings," Merle said. "But I also remember him saying, 'God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.' And 'God

“那里的大多数人都很穷，过着艰苦的生活，”珀尔说。 “他们被一群人欺负了。 老师告诉人群上帝会保佑他们。 他说：“上帝赐福给那些贫穷的人，他们需要上帝，因为天国是他们的。”“有很多祝福，”梅尔说。 我又想起他说过：‘怜悯人的人，神必赐福，因为他们必蒙怜悯。’和“神

blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.'" "Good memory, Merle!" Pearl complimented. "God blesses with good memory those who eat a lot of walnuts... I made that one up," Merle confessed. "The teacher had a lot of other things to say, but one thing that I remember very well might help you with Edgar, Michael," said Pearl. "Was it an idea for an epic prank?" Michael asked. "Uh, no. He didn't say anything about pranks. He said, 'Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.'" "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you...," Michael repeated. "Huh."

为和平努力的人有福了，因为他们必称为神的儿子。“好记性，莫尔！”珍珠称赞。 “上帝保佑那些多吃核桃的人记忆力好…… 那是我瞎编的，”梅尔坦白道。 “老师还有很多话要说，但有一件事我记得很清楚，可能对你对付埃德加有帮助，迈克尔，”珠儿说。 “这是一个史诗般的恶作剧吗？”迈克尔问道。 “哦,不。他没说什么恶作剧。 他说：“你愿意别人怎样待你，你就怎样待人。”’”“你希望别人怎样待你，你就怎样待人……迈克尔重复道。 “嗯。”
