秀才的梦

有位秀才第三次进京赶考，住在一个经常住的店里。考试前两天他做了三个梦，第一个梦是梦到自己在墙上种白菜，第二个梦是下雨天，他戴了斗笠还打伞，第三个梦是梦到跟心爱的表妹脱光了衣服躺在一起，但是背靠着背。　　

这三个梦似乎有些深意，秀才第二天就赶紧去找算命的解梦。算命的一听，连拍大腿说：“你还是回家吧。你想想，高墙上种菜不是白费劲吗？戴斗笠打雨伞不是多此一举吗？跟表妹都脱光了躺在一张床上了，却背靠背，不是没戏吗？” 　　

秀才一听，心灰意冷，回店收拾包袱准备回家。店老板非常奇怪，问：“不是明天才考试吗，今天你怎么就回乡了？”秀才如此这般说了一番，店老板乐了：“哟，我也会解梦的。我倒觉得，你这次一定要留下来。你想想，墙上种菜不是高种吗？戴斗笠打伞不是说明你这次有备无患吗？跟你表妹脱光了背靠靠躺在床上，不是说明你翻身的时候就要到了吗？” 　　

秀才一听，更有道理，于是精神振奋地参加考试，居然中了个探花。　　

积极的人，象太阳，照到哪里哪里亮，消极的人，象月亮，初一十五不一样。想法决定我们的生活，有什么样的想法，就有什么样的未来。

（马六甲）週四（1月14日）在武吉峇汝圣陶沙花园入口处遇车祸身亡的21岁女郎黄梅貽，一年前就曾告诉舅舅有意在去世后捐献器官的意愿，如今她不幸发生车祸去世，家人为完成她的心愿，今日（週五，1月15日）决定捐出眼角膜及长骨，遗爱人间。 

死者一位不愿透露姓名的舅舅週五在中央医院告诉媒体，梅貽在吉隆坡读书时就住在他家里，约一年前，梅貽拿著捐献器官的表格回来，询问他的意见。 

“当时我对她说，生命是无常的，只有死亡是肯定。捐献器官是好事，因为能够把希望带给更多的人，但是必须由自己决定。” 

他指出，梅貽未来得及向父母表达她的意愿，就发生了车祸。家人获悉她生前的心愿后，决定遵循她的意愿，捐出梅貽的器官以拯救其他人。

KUALA LUMPUR – A MOSQUE was vandalised in Sarawak on Saturday, threatening to deepen the row between Muslims and Christians over the ‘Allah’ controversy.

Police found broken glass near the wall outside the mosque in Kota Samarahan, about 40km from the main town of Kuching. It was the first mosque attacked in the recent violence against places of worship.

‘Don’t make any speculation. We are investigating this incident,’ deputy police chief Ismail Omar told the media. ‘The situation remains peaceful and no one should take advantage of this to create something bad.’

The trouble was touched off by a High Court ruling last month that allowed a Catholic newspaper, the Herald, to use Allah to refer to God.

Since then, 10 churches and a Sikh Gurdwara temple have been vandalised.

The latest church was vandalised on Friday night in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. Its side windows were broken.

Malaysian police yet to determine if attack in Sarawak is linked to Allah issue

SEREMBAN, Sat — A window pane of the Grace Global Prayer Church in Rasah here was found broken last night, believed to be the work of a vandal, Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Osman Salleh said today.

He said the police were confident of catching the suspect because a security guard had seen a man damaging the window at about 7.30pm.

Church secretary David Raju said his wife noticed the damaged window and glass splinters on the ground floor of the church, located in a row of two-storey shophouses, when they had gone there at night.

This is the second church in Seremban to have suffered damage in the wake of a Kuala Lumpur High Court decision on Dec 31 allowing the Catholic weekly magazine, Herald, to use the word “Allah” (God) in its publications.

On January 11, the door of the Sidang Injil Borneo (SIB) Church in Lakeview Square, Seremban 2, was scorched by vandals. — BERNAMA
