When the mother turned 16the sound of her son’s crying she saw that his17 was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She 18to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out 19 . But the hand was stuck fast（牢固地）. How would they get it out? The father suggested 20the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the 21 _. Yet he knew that if all else 22there would be no other alternative.

The boy had had a coin in his hand 27and was holding it 28in his tight little fist. And he wasn’t 29to open his hand and lose it. But 30he opened his hand it came out of the vase easily.

The father said to the boy, “What are you holding onto so tightly as to hinder (阻碍) your walk with God? That vase can be 31to the entrance to the Kingdom of God.

Open your hand to the hand of God and you will see great things take place.”
