新視野大學英語視聽說教程第二冊 Unit 3 Task 2: He thinks I’m God.

A young woman brings home her fiancé to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man’s plans. The father invites the fiancé to his study for a drink.

“So what are your plans?” the father asks the young man.

“I am a Bible student,” he replies.

“A Bible student. Hmm.” The father says. “Good, but what will you do to provide my daughter with a nice house such as she’s accustomed to?”

“I will study,”: the young man replies, “and God will provide for us.”

“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring such as she deserves?” asks the father.

“I will concentrate on my studies,” the Youngman replies, “and God will provide for us.”

“And children?” asks the father. “How will you support children?”

“Don’t worry, sir. God will provide,” replies the fiancé.

The conversation goes on like this, and each time the father questions him, the young man insists that God will provide. Later, the mother asks, “How did it go, honey?”

The father answers, “He had no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I’m God.”
