A bird went to seek (寻找) its happiness in the distance (远方).

It flew and flew when it suddenly saw a little wilting (枯萎的) flower, whose face was full of smile. Not knowing why, the bird asked the little flower, “You are going to die. Why are you still so happy?”

“I am going to bear fruit and my dream will come true.” said the little flower.

Then the little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.

The little bird kept flying; it flew and flew when it suddenly saw a lame (瘸的) duck, which was singing a song. Not knowing why, it asked the duck, “You are so unlucky. Why are you still so happy?”

“Because I saw a little duck fall. And I helped it stand up again!”

Then the little bird saw it: happiness is a love in the heart.

The bird kept flying; it flew and flew when it suddenly saw a spider climbing a slippery wall. It fell off the wall for several times, but it went on climbing over and over again. Not knowing why, the little bird asked the spider, “You failed again and again. Why don’t you have pain but happiness on your face?”

“I am sure to climb up the wall if I try my best. Because of this, I am so happy.”

The little bird saw it: happiness is a faith (信念) in the heart.

The little bird didn’t seek happiness any longer because it had seen the truth: happiness is not in the distance but in your own heart.
