Luyện nghe bài hát Deck Of Cards

During the North campaign, a bunch of soldier boys had
been on a long and they arrived in a little town called Casino. The
next morning being Sunday, several of the went to Church. A sergeant
commanded the in Church and after the Chaplain had read the prayer,
the was taken up next. Those of the boys who had a prayer book took
them out, but this one boy had a deck of cards, and so he spread
them out. The Sergeant saw the and said, "Soldier, put away those
cards." After the services was over, the was taken prisoner and
before the Provost Marshall.

The Marshall said, "Sergeant, why have you brought man
here?" "For playing cards in church, Sir." "And what you to say for
yourself, son?" "Much, Sir," replied the soldier. The said, "I
hope so, for if not I shall punish you more any man was ever
punished." The soldier said, "Sir, I have been on the for about six
days. I have neither a Bible nor a prayer book, but I hope to
you, Sir, with the of my intentions." And with that, the boy
his story:

"You see Sir, when I look at the Ace, it reminds me that
is but one God. And the Deuce reminds me that the Bible is into
two parts, the Old and the New Testaments. I see the Trey, I think
of the Father, the Son, and the Ghost. And when I see the Four, I
think of the four Evangelists who preached the Gospel; was Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. And when I see the Five, it reminds me of the
wise virgins who trimmed their lamps; were ten of them: five were
wise and were saved, five were foolish and were shut out. I see the
Six, it reminds me in six days, God made this great heaven and
earth. When I see the Seven, it reminds me that on the day, God
rested His great work. And when I see the Eight, I think of the
eight persons God saved when He destroyed this earth; there was
Noah, his wife, sons and their wives. And when I see the Nine, I
think of the our Savior cleansed, and nine out of the ten didn't
thank Him. When I see the Ten, I think of the Ten Commandments God
handed to Moses on a table of stone. When I see the King, it
reminds me there is but one King of Heaven, God Almighty. And when I
see the Queen, I think of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is of
Heaven. And the Jack or Knave is the Devil. When I count the
of spots on a deck of cards, I find 365, the of days in a year.
There are 52 cards, the of weeks in a year. There are 4 suits, the
number of weeks in a month. are 12 picture cards, the number of
in a year. There are 13 tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter.
So you see, Sir, my pack of cards serves me as a Bible, an and a
Book."

"And friends, the is true. I know, I was that soldier."
