A Children's Storybook Page 1 A long time ago in Israel, there was a kind woman named Hannah. She loved God very much, but she was sad because she had no children. Every year, she went to the temple to pray. Page 2 One day, with tears in her eyes, Hannah prayed, “Lord, if You give me a son, I will give him back to You to serve You all his life.” Page 3 The priest, Eli, saw Hannah praying and said, “May God grant your request.” Hannah believed in God’s promise and left the temple full of hope. Page 4 God answered Hannah’s prayer! She gave birth to a baby boy and named him Samuel, which means “God has heard.” She loved him dearly. Page 5 When Samuel was old enough, Hannah kept her promise. She brought him to the temple and said to Eli, “God has blessed me with a son, and now I give him back to serve the Lord.” Page 6 Samuel grew up in the temple, learning from Eli. One night, he heard a voice calling, “Samuel! Samuel!” He thought Eli was calling him, but Eli said, “I did not call you. Go back to sleep.” Page 7 The voice called again, and again Samuel ran to Eli. But Eli realized it was God speaking to Samuel! He told Samuel, “Say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.’” Page 8 Samuel listened, and God spoke to him. From that night on, Samuel became a great prophet, guiding Israel and teaching them to follow God. Page 9 Hannah’s faith and promise led to Samuel becoming one of the greatest leaders of Israel. And through it all, she was thankful, knowing that God had answered her prayer. Page 10 “For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my request.” – 1 Samuel 1:27

in the vast, sun-scorched expanse of the Kalahari Desert, where the golden sands stretch endlessly beneath a brilliant blue sky, Miko the Meerkat and Lou the Lizard make their home. Miko, with his sharp eyes and alert posture, stands on a small mound of sand, his fur a blend of sandy brown and cream, perfectly camouflaged against the desert landscape. Beside him, Lou the Lizard scurries across the hot ground, her scales glinting in the sunlight, a mix of earthy greens and browns that help her blend in with the sparse vegetation. The dry air shimmers with heat, and the occasional gust of wind stirs the fine grains of sand, creating a soft rustle that is the only sound in this otherwise silent and arid wilderness.

我叫陳，出生在新界龍躍頭的一個古老鄧族村落。從小聽長輩講起這個地方的悠久歷史和濃厚的文化底蘊,內心就充滿了對家鄉的自豪和向往。 龍躍頭有著迷人的地形特色,據說這裡有一座山,形狀宛如一條正躍入空中的龍,因此得名「龍躍頭」。我們家族祖祖輩輩都集居在這片富有傳奇色彩的村莊,數百年來子孫繁衍,建立起了五圍六村的規模。每逢農曆新年,家族成員都要齊聚一堂,感恩先祖留下的這片福地。 童年時,我最喜歡在村中漫步,欣賞那些保存完好的傳統建築。老圍的青磚圍牆和狹窄的入口,曾經守護著我們的祖先免受海盜的騷擾;松嶺鄧公祠莊嚴肅穆,祠堂內精緻的木刻和壁畫令我讚嘆不已。而天后宮更是村民心中的信仰中心,每逢天后誕都會熱鬧非凡,祈求風調雨順。 我最喜歡逛的地方,要算是善述書室了。這裡曾經是鄧族子弟讀書考取功名的場所,儘管如今已改為祭祖的地方,但仍保留著濃郁的文化氣息。光是看著牆上的木雕和壁畫,我都能想像出當年讀書人的高尚情操。 每當我踏進龍躍頭,周遭古老而富有個性的建築就會活靈活現地呈現在眼前,彷彿在訴說著這片土地的悠久歷史。我自豪地說,這就是我成長的家鄉,是一個充滿文化魅力的地方。
