Once upon a time there was a baby eagle. He lived in the nest on a cliff (悬崖), overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals. The nest was the whole world to him. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view. And even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. The baby eagle grew strong and he felt good all the time.

But one day, the mother came back home and said,“Eat this, and it’s your last meal,” she said. The baby cried, but he ate and thought about what had happened. Just then, surprisingly, the mother pushed him out of the nest. He fell, head first, faster ad faster. He screamed. “I’m dying!” he cried. He looked up at his mother, “How could you do this to me?” He looked down. The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. “This is unfair!” he screamed.

Something strange happened. The air caught behind his wings and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasn’t moving towards the ground any more, and his eyes were pointed up at the sun.

“Huh?” he said,“ What is going on here?”

“You’re flying,” his mother said.

“This is fun!” laughed the baby eagle, as he soared (翱翔) and dived.

“Yes, it is!”said the mother.

Life is full of happiness and bitters（痛苦）. Do you choose to live a happy life or a bitter one?

In my opinion, happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
