  Once upon a time, there was a farmer in central China.He didn't have money, so instead of a tractor(拖拉机), he used an old horse to plow his field(犁地).

  One afternoon, while working in the field, the horse fell down, dead.Everyone in the village said, “Oh, what a horrible thing!” The farmer said simply, “We'll see.” He was so peaceful and so calm that everyone in the village got together and, admiring his attitude, gave him a new horse as a gift.

  Everyone's reaction now was, “What a lucky man!” And the farmer said, “We'll see.”

  A couple of days later, the new horse jumped over a fence and ran away.Everyone in the village shook their heads and said, “What a poor fellow!” The farmer smiled and said, “We'll see.”

  Finally, the horse found his way home, and everyone said, “What a fortunate man!” The farmer said, “We'll see.”

  Later in the year, the farmer's young boy went out riding the horse and fell and broke his leg.Everyone in the village said, “What a poor boy!” The farmer said, “We'll see.”

  Two days later, the army came into the village to draft new recruits(征召新兵).When they saw the farmer's son had a broken leg, they decided not to recruit him.Everyone said, “What a fortunate young man!” The farmer smiled again and said, “We'll see.”

  There's no use in overreacting(反应过度)to the events and circumstances(境况)of our everyday lives.When our hearts are in the right place, all events and circumstances are gifts that we can learn valuable lessons from.

  Everyone’s at it, even my neighbors.I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn’t done an eBay deal.So, I decided to try my hand at online auction(网上拍卖).Buying for beginners:Sign up on www.ebay.co.uk.Most items(e.g.tables, computers, and books)ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price.You can buy these right away.

  If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids(出价)for you.The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again.Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.

  How to pay:Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders.The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card(信用卡).

  Selling made simple:If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item.I followed my friends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10 day auction, starring on a Thursday.This way buyers had two weekends to bid.

  The big things in life:It’s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by delivery men.Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
