我应允了他唯一的祈求，若非如此，你根本得不到我任何的赐予……他祈祷让你的祈求都能应验。
A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors agreed that they had no other recourse than to pray to God.
一艘客轮在海上遇到暴风雨翻了，只有两个人游泳到一个荒凉的小岛上。在无计可施的情况下，两个人都认为向上帝祷告是唯一的出路。
However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.
但是为了看看谁的祷告比较有效，他们协议把小岛分成两半，每人各居一处。
The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man's parcel of land remained barren.
他们祈祷的第一件事就是食物，第二天早上，第一个人看到一棵果实累累的树长在他这一边的土地上，他可以伸手摘果子吃。而另外一个人的土地上依旧一片荒芜。
After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife.
