只有上天是偉大的

新冠狀肺炎疫情襲擊全球，

富裕國家一樣無法倖免，

上天統治著全世界，

誰說不是？

Canute是一位偉大的國王。 他也是一位偉大的士兵。 他敬畏上帝。 他愛他的人民。 有一天他去了海邊。 他坐在靠近水的椅子上。 他的朋友們站在他身後。

一位朋友說：“我的主！ 您是世界的主人。 連海浪也聽從你的命令。”

國王沒有回答。 他轉過身來，說道：“這是我給你的命令。 不要靠近我 回去！ 我是你的主人 服從我！”

但是海浪越來越近了。 他們流過國王的腳。

親戚對他的朋友說：“我不偉大！ 唯有上帝是偉大的！ 他統治著世界。 太陽，月亮，星星和大海只服從他的命令。”

Canute拋開了他的王冠。 從那天起他沒有戴。

      Kanute國王和大海：

26. Canute and The Sea :

Canute was a great king. He was also a great soldier. He feared God. He loved his people. One day he went to the sea-shore. He sat on a chair close to the water. His friends stood behind him.

One of the friends said, “My Lord! You are the master of the world. Even the waves of the sea will obey your orders."

The king said nothing in reply. He turned to the waves and said, “This is my order to you. Don’t come near me. Go back! I am your master. Obey me!"

But the waves came nearer. They flowed over the king’s feet.

The kin then said to his friend, “I am not great! God alone is great! He rules the world. The Sun, The Moon, The Stars and The Sea obey only His Orders."

Canute put aside his crown. He did not wear it from that day.
