Once there lived an unhappy king who slept badly and didn’t feel like eating anything. This made queen and his people worried. A doctor was called in to him. The doctor said it’s all in his mind instead of his body. So medicine nor rest could help him but a shirt of a happy person.
The prime minister was called to the palace. When hearing the king’s situation, he said, “Although I have much power, it doesn’t make me . I’m always worried about losing it.” Then, the king’s banker came and said he had lots of wealth, but he also worried about losing it. He was never happy, either. Next, the palace singer came and his words were almost the same.
Finally, the top general was told to find a happy man in time. Luckily, he found a poor man without power, money or fame singing happily on a street. The general asked him made him so happy. The poor man answered that he had everything he wanted and he didn’t want those he couldn’t have. His songs came from the happiness in his heart.

Every year when Mother's Day cards show up in the stores, I remember my mother. She never cared much for .I could just send a card or give her a call, and she'd be very happy.
A few months later after her death, I was in a store out a Mother's Day card when suddenly I realized I had one to send it to.

When I that she ought to get a life, she replied, "I work five days a , clean my house on Saturday, go to church on Sunday. I don't need a 1ife. I need help."
When we fell on hard times, she said, "Life is a . Sometimes you give, other times you take. Either way, it's al1 the same one. But try to remember how hard it is to take, because one day, you will do the giving.'"

An 8-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother Andrew. All she knew was that he was very and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could him.
One morning, the girl heard her father say to her mother: “Only a miracle(奇迹) can save Andrew now.” The girl went to her bedroom, collected all of her money and counted it . She hurried to a drugstore.
“How can I help you?” asked the salesman.
“I want to buy a miracle,” the girl answered. “My brother has something growing inside his head. My daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle
?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, my dear. I’m so sorry,” the salesman said .
“What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” asked a well-dressed man standing nearby.
“I don’t know,” she answered. “He’s really sick and needs an operation in his head. So I all my money.”
“ do you have?” asked the man.
“$1.11,” she answered, “ but I can try and get some more.” She said again and again.
“Well, what luck,” said the man. “$1.11 is the of a miracle. Let’s go to see your brother.”
