I received the following story in an email yesterday and thought it was so cute. A good reminder of the innocence of children and how we should all be a little more childlike.
A nurse on the pediatric ward, before listening to the little ones chests,
would plug the stethoscope into their ears and let them listen to their
own hearts. Their eyes would always light up with awe, but she never
got a response equal to four-year old David's comment:
Gently she tucked the stethoscope into his ears and placed the disk
over his heart. 'Listen', she said...........'What do you suppose that is?'
He drew his eyebrows together in a puzzled line and looked up as if
lost in the mystery of the strange tap – tap – tapping deep in his chest.
Then his face broke out in a wondrous grin and he asked,
'Is that Jesus knocking on my door?
