Question

【题目】 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.
