It’s getting warmer and the grass is greener. How fine it is to relax on the grass! But signs such as “keep off the grass”(远离草坪) in China always make me afraid. In the UK, people can relax on the grass in the open air or in parks at any time. If it’s a sunny day, people will just sit on the grass and feel the sun’s warmth.

Families enjoy spending their weekends on the grass. There, families can bring something to eat or drink and play cards with family members or friends, children can play chess and tell each other stories.

Also, in most schools, grass fields are like a soft study desk for students. They can enjoy reading books and learn in the green environment(环境). They also talk, laugh, listen to music and play games on the grass.

However, there is a rule to enjoy the green grass. In some parks, there are many kinds of green grass for people to relax and play sports on. Be smart to find the good one, and you may feel yourself sitting in the middle of a soccer game!

Norman Vincent Peale, a famous writer, once told a story. One day, a man named Frank telephoned him and said he had nothing left to live for. Peale invited him to his office. “Everything is gone, and I’m hopeless,” Frank told Peale. “I’m living in the darkness. In fact, I’ve lost hope for living.”

Peale smiled, feeling sorry for him. “Let’s take a look at your situation(处境).”

On a piece of paper he drew a straight line down in the middle. He told Frank that they must list the things Frank had lost on the left side, and on the right side, the things Peale hadn’t lost.

“You won’t need that column(栏;列) on the right side,” said Frank sadly.

It seemed Peale did not hear him. Peale asked, “When did your wife(妻子) leave you?”

“What do you mean? She doesn’t leave me! My wife loves me! “

“That’s great! “ said Peale excitedly, “Then we’ll only put that to the right column. Number One—Wife left. Now, when did your children go to prison(监狱)?”

“My children aren’t in prison! “

“Good! That’s Number Two on the right side--Children in prison.” said Peale, writing it down.

After a few more questions, at last Frank got it and smiled. “Funny, how things change (改变) when you think of them that way.” he said.

Change your thoughts and you change your world. If you paint in your mind a picture of happiness, you are getting near it.
