After hours of driving ,my wife Tara and I were so tired,but happy to finally get home . We put the car on the driveway and headed inside home .

At seven o’clock in the morning,we opened the front door and found that the car was stolen ! We called the police .Afterwards ,all we could do was waiting for news .

As time went by, Tara became very upset as she remembered many things in the car----our wedding album, family photos from past generations and my wallet ,just to name a few .

Frustrated(沮丧的),Tara asked me how I could stay calm .

I said: “Honey, we can have a stolen car and be all upset, or we can have a stolen car and be happy. Either way, we have a stolen car. Why not be happy ?”

Five days later ,our car was returned.As I drove it home ,I crashed into (撞上)another car ,which would cost around 3000 dollars to repair .I was sorry and upset for what I had done .

I was sad .Then Tara arrived home .She put her arms around me and said, "Honey,we can have a wrecked (撞坏的)car and be upset ,or we can have a wrecked car and be happy .Either way ,we have a wrecked car ,so let's choose to be happy .”

I looked at her and laughed happily .
