Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here is a story to help you.
Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness.
It flew and flew. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn’t give up. The little
bird asked the spider in surprise. “Why don' t you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again?”
“Because I keep making my efforts. I'm happy.” said the spider.
Then the little bird saw it happiness is a will in the heart.
The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face.
“I'm happy because I can help others.” said the lame duck.
So the bird saw it happiness is a love in the heart.
The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn’t know the reason. So it asked the little flower, “You're going to die. Why are you still so happy?”
“Because my dream will come true,” said the little flower.
“What is your dream?”
“To produce sweet fruit.”
The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.
So the little bird no more looked for happiness because it had seen the truth happiness is not in the faraway place but in your own heart. You are the maker of your own happiness.

“Get up, get up, Jim. It’s time to get up!” My mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. “Oh dear! It’s a quarter past eight already.” I’ll be late for school again,” I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, and then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. “I’m sure I can get to school in time,” I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There’s something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one.” “I couldn’t wait. The school isn’t far. I’d better run to school,” I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to school, it began to rain hard.
I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The math teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was very strict with his students and the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his math lessons. I hesitated (犹豫) for a moment, and then I opened the door. “I’m very sorry, Mr. Smith. I’m late again,” I said with a red face.
“It’s you again, Jim,” Mr. Smith said angrily, “I’ve told you not to be late, but you...” he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, “I’m very sorry, boys and girls. ” With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. “Now, take off your wet coat and put on this one or you’ll catch cold,” he said kindly.
I went to my seat with Mr. Smith’s jacket on. It was a bit larger for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, math was so interesting and how well I could understand it!

★★★★★My kids loved this book! By L. Markovitz This book is very easy to understand for kids and helpful if you want them to understand why you want them to eat certain foods. It also explains food groups on a level they can understand. ★★☆☆☆The book is great except the page that says most of your food should be grains(谷物). By Sycamore Sewing The book explains the nutrition you receive and which part of your body it feeds. But when it says that you get all of your energy from things like cereal and bagels, it doesn't look right. I just don't agree on it. |
★★★★★ Recommended(推荐) By Ellen I would recommend this to any Mom! It tells Moms what is healthy food. |
