A man has been in business for many, many years and the business is going down the drain. He is seriously contemplating suicide and he doesn’t know what to do. He goes to the Pastor to seek his advice. He tells the Pastor about all of his problems in the business and asks the Pastor what he should do.
男子經商許多年了，如今卻眼看著自己的生意即將付諸東流。他甚至考慮自殺。他實在不知道該如何脫離困境，便到牧師那裡去尋求建議。他講述了自己的困境，問牧師自己應該做些什麼。
The Pastor says,「 Take a beach chair and a Bible and put them in your car and drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to the water’s edge. Take the beach chair out of the car, sit on it and take the Bible out and open it up. The wind will rifle the pages for a while and eventually the Bible will stay open at a particular page. Read the Bible and it will tell you what to do.」
牧師回答說，「拿一把沙灘椅和一本《聖經》放到車裡，然後一路開車直到海洋盡頭。走到海邊，取出車裡的沙灘椅坐下，取出《聖經》並翻開。書
頁會隨風翻動片刻，但最終會停留在某頁。你讀一讀那一頁，它會告訴你應該怎麼做。」
The man does as he is told. He places a beach chair and a Bible in his car and drives down to the beach. He sits on the chair at the water’s edge and opens the Bible. The wind rifles the pages of the Bible and then stops at a particular page. He looks down at the Bible and sees what he has to do.
男子採納了牧師的建議。將一把沙灘椅和一本《聖經》放到車裡，他一路開車來到了海灘。他走到海邊，拿出椅子坐下來並打開了《聖經》。書頁隨著海風翻動起來，最後停了下來。他低頭看了看那一頁，終於明白自己該怎麼做了。
Three months later the man and his family come back to see the Pastor. The man is wearing a $1,000 Italian suit, the wife is all decked out with a full-length mink coat and the child is dressed in beautiful silk. The man hands the Pastor a thick envelope full of money and tells him that he wants to donate this money to the church in order to thank the Pastor for his wonderful advice. The Pastor is delighted. He recognizes the man and asks him what advice in the Bible brought this good fortune to him.
三個月後，男子帶著家人專程前來看望牧師。男子身穿一套價值1000 美元的義大利西裝，他的妻子身上披著一件等身長的貂皮大衣，孩子穿著漂亮的絲綢外套。男子將手中一個厚厚的、裝滿了現金的信封遞給牧師，稱要將這筆錢捐給教會，以感謝牧師給他提的好建議。牧師很高興。他認出了男子，便問他《聖經》裡的哪一條建議帶給了他這一好運。
The man replies:「 Chapter 111.」
男子回答說：「第11 章。【備註：Chapter 11（美）聯邦破產法第11章（主要關於破產保護）。此處有雙關含義。】
