英文故事_Into the Presence of the King(附理解练习)
Into the Presence of the King
by Max Lucado
A long time ago in a land much like your own, there was a village. And in this village lived five orphans. A lonely family of fatherless children, they had banded together against the cold. One day a king learned of their misfortune and decided to adopt them. He decreed that he would be their father and planned to come for them. All the people in the land thought it odd that the king should adopt these children. He already had many people to care for.

The people didn’t know the king. They just assumed that all kings want to be impressed. So the children worked long and hard preparing their offerings.

The small blocks of wood came alive with the eyes of a sparrow or the nose of a unicorn.
His sister decided to present the king with a painting that captured the beauty of the heavens – a painting worthy to hang in his castle.
Another sister chose music as her way to impress the king. For long hours se practiced with her voice and mandolin. Village people would stop at her window and listen as her music took wings and soared.
Yet another child set out to turn the king’s head with his wisdom. Late hours would find his candle lit and his boo
