“Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. When the baby was in her arms, she couldn’t believe her eyes. The baby was born without ears.
Time proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect though he had no ears. He got on well with his classmates. But one day, he said to his mother, tears in his eyes, “A big boy called me a freak(畸形物).”
The boy’s father asked the family doctor, “Could nothing be done?”
“I believe I could graft(移植)on a pair of outer ears if they could be gotten,” the doctor said. They tried to find a person who would be helpful to the boy.
One day, his father said to the son, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have found someone who will donate the ears you need. But we must keep it a secret who the person is.”
The operation was a great success, and a new person appeared. His cleverness and hard work made him a very successful person. He married and lived a happy life.
He would ask his father, “Who gave me the ears? I could do enough for him or her.”
“I can’t tell you,” said the father. “The agreement says that you are not allowed to know…not yet.”
It was kept a secret for years, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’s body. Slowly, the father raised the thick, brown hair. To his surprise, the son found his mother had no outer ears.
“Mother said she was glad she never had her hair cut,” his father said in a low voice, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they?”

happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our
own happiness.
Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do
anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this
way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be
bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value（重视）their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think
these can make them happy.
Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too
often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don’t enjoy the present. You
should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.
The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the
activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to
studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many
meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping
to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.
