As the waters rose, the man retreated (撤退) to the second floor of his house. Now, two men in a motorboat came by and offered to rescue him. Again, the man refused, saying, “No, thank you. God will help me. ”
As the waters rose still higher, the man retreated again to the rooftop of his house. A plane came by, and someone inside it threw down a rope, urging (催促) the man to grab (抓住) it and be pulled up into the airplane. Once more, the man declined and said, “No, thank you. God will help me. ” Just then a powerful voice called out to the man, “You idiot! I sent you a boat, a motorboat and now a plane. What more do you want me to do?”
