There was a child ready to be born. So he asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to the earth but how am I going to live there, being so small and helpless?" "Among the many angels (天使), I choose(挑选) one for you. She will be waiting for you and will look after you," God said.
"But here I don't do anything else but sing and smile, and that's enough for me to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy." The child said, "And how can I understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men speak?" God told the child, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and teach you how to speak."
The child said, "I've heard that on the earth there are bad men. Who will protect(保护) me?" God said, "Your angel will protect you even if it means costing her life."
At that moment voices from the earth could already be heard, and the child asked in a hurry, "Oh, God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name!" God answered, "Your angel's name is not hard to remember. You will call your angel Mummy."
