A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”“Yes sure, what is it?” replied the man“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”“That’s none of your business, why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.“I just want to know, please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.“if you must know, I make $20 an hour”“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he sa id,“dad, may I please borrow $10?”The father was furious,“if the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed, think about why you are being so selfish.”“I work long hard hours everyday and don’t have time for such this childish behavior.”The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions.How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?After about an hour or so, the dad calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son.Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often.The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.“are you asleep, son?” he asked.“no daddy, I’m awake” replied the boy.“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man.“It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled.Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled.“because I didn't have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replie d.“daddy, I have $20 now, can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow, I would like to have dinner with you.”腊月初八，我国人民有吃腊八粥习俗。

据说腊八粥传自印度，和佛教始祖释迦牟尼有关。

释迦牟尼本是古印度北部迦毗罗卫国（今尼泊尔境内）净饭王的儿子，他见众生受生老病死等痛苦折磨，又不满当时婆罗门的神权统治，舍弃王位，出家修道。

初无收获，后经六年苦行，于腊月八日在菩提树下悟道成佛。

在这六年苦行中，每日仅食一麻一米。

后人不忘他所受的苦难，于每年腊月初八吃粥以做纪念。

“腊八”就成了“佛祖成道纪念日”。

腊八粥在古时是用红小豆、糯米煮成，现在在中国各地腊八粥的花样，争奇竞巧，品种繁多。

Laba is celebrated on the eighth day of the last lunar month, referring to the traditional start of celebrations for the Chinese New Year. "La" in Chinese means the 12th lunar month and "ba" means eight.Legends about the origin of this festivity abound. One holds that over 3,000 years ago sacrificial rites called "La "(腊) were held in the twelfth lunar month when people offered their preys to the gods of heaven and earth. The Chinese characters for prey (猎物) and the twelfth month (腊) were interchangeable then, and ever since "La" has been used to refer to both.Since the festival was held on the eighth day of the Last month, people later appended the number eight ("ba" in Chinese), giving us the current Laba .One said that the Ming emperor Zhu Yuan-hour cattle to the rich because the rich bracket was broken off in a room, three days did not give anything to eat, he was unbearable hunger.

JERUSALEM: fever should reflect on the tombsexcavatedPosted: at 2:25 p.m. on the January 19, 2010 Source: JERUSALEM on: Qu side industryTomb of Liu Bei in the end or in the Temple of Marquis Wu Pengshan? Following the Pengshan County of Meishan City, Sichuan Wrangler Lianhua Village joint le tter to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage Village and the Sichuan P rovincial Cultural Relics Bureau requested to carry out investigation Lotus dam Wong tomb, dug up, Pengshan County, the community issued a "call-up orders," T omb of the collection and Wong literature, cultural and other information.Cao Cao in the voices of doubt in the excavated tomb of Liu Bei, Sun Quan, who was buried where, as the focus of some people, especially those where the thre e characters is brainer. Pengshan County, the community issued a "call-up orde rs," Liu Bei is to search for evidence that the evidence buried in the ground t o follow this trend for the development of local service bar. Seen in the new s, the villagers have been mobilized, are rummaging through the house looking f or looking for artifacts, to attempt to prove that Liu Bei was buried in a loca l increase in the evidence. This National Archaeological heat spreading in the folk, people who are as if archaeologists.Archaeology had a very serious academic activities, intended to find artifact s, proved historical. Explore ancient tombs, is an important archaeological ac tivities, this should be treated seriously. If the Government called for priva te participation is likely to sour the archaeological activities, more flavor a nd less speculation in the academic flavor. Pengshan County to issue a "call-u p orders," say the surface is collected with the imperial tomb of relevant lite rature, artefacts, the fundamental fear or would like to take this opportunity to carry forward the benefits of local heritage is to "cultural set up the stag e, singing the economy "it.Anyang excavation of the tomb of Cao Cao, it makes sense to tombs excavated in the development of local tourism resources. If the archaeological activities that cemetery is true, this idea is less outrageous. Local government would li ke to use this economic development, entirely understandable. However, archaeo logical activities have not yet settled, the conclusion has not been fully drawn, the local began to hype up, they played the Tomb of the concept of Cao Cao, this is not some rush it? If the archaeological impact of activities by such p ragmatism, not a good thing, their academic position will be challenged by the community, people feel that the purpose of archaeological activities, impure, a nd thus lose the most basic objective of academic impartiality and credibility.This is reminiscent of Shaanxi Zhenping discovered "South China Tiger", had no t the local government and the forestry sector as a wildlife preserve its activ ities, but once planned as a tourist development project and, ultimately, impet uous and utilitarian approach that , will leave the tiger as a real tiger, and and stand by counterfeiters to participate in fraud, and finally sudden, joke, seriously advance the government's credibility.Tombs excavated over speculation, and performance works if the combination of archaeological activities inevitably result in damage to the academic position, it could be another false start wave. On the tomb, with the greatest respect that we should protect, rather than explore the world, never seen a country and the ancestors of the local dug graves and rich. Excavation of the tomb behind these anomalies should be thought.。
