     The cold wind cut through my enthusiasm (热情) as a tourist in Washington D.C., so I entered the
nearest restaurant for warmth. I ordered a coffee, and began observing people.
     At that time, I saw a man seated nearby and from his eager eyes, I realized that he noticed the
delicious food. His tired body and worn clothes shouted, "Homeless, homeless!"
     "How long has it been since he ate last time?" I wondered. I expected him to approach me for a
handout (施舍物). But he never did. A silent war broke out in my head-one side was telling me to mind
my own business, and the other was urging me to offer him some food.
     While my inner debate moved on, a well-dressed young couple walked up to him. "Excuse me, sir,
"the husband began. "We just finished eating, and our appetites (胃口) weren't as big as we had thought. We hate to waste good food. Can you help us out and put this to use?" He gave the man some food.
"Thank you. Merry Christmas!" the man replied. The man carefully watched his new food, and was about
to eat.
     Something that happened next shocked me. An old man in pants, an old jacket and open shoes
entered the hall and walked towards us. My neighbor saw the situation. Setting aside his meal, he stood
up and guided the old man to the table.
     "Hi, my name is Jack," he said, "and one kind person brought me this meal. I just finished eating and
hate to waste good food. Can you help me out?" The old man answered gratefully, "Sure, but only if you
go halfway with me on that sandwich."
     I left the restaurant that day feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible.

     To some people, happiness is something to do with simplicity, and it is the ability to extract pleasure
from the simplest things-such as a peach stone (桃核). It is obvious that it has nothing to do with success.
     For Sir Henry Stewart, it was certainly successful. I remember some ten years ago when he was made King's Counsel, Amos and I went to congratulate him.We smiled happily; he merely looked as miserable
as though he'd received a punishment. He took his success as a child does his medicine. And not one of his achievements brought even a sign of a smile to his tired eyes.
     I asked him one day what it was like to achieve all one's ambitions.He looked down at his roses and
went on watering them.Then he said, "The only value in achieving one's ambitions is that you then realize
that they are not worth achieving."
     Yesterday, I was passing his house and he called me,"Come and see, Jan.Look! I have done it at last!" There he was, holding a small box of earth in his hand.I observed three tiny shoots out of it.
     "And there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven.
     "Three what?" I asked.
     "Peach stones," he replied. "I've always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since I was a child,
when I used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. And I used to plant them, and
then forgot where I planted them. But now at last I have done it. I had only three stones, and three shoots," he counted.
     Then Sir Henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of
simplicity.
