How to Be Happy

A long time ago, in a rich and peaceful country, there lived an unhappy king. He slept badly and didn’t feel like eating. His face was always pale as

chalk. He oft en cried for no reason. This made the queen and his people worried.

One day, a doctor was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. “It’s all in his mind. Neither medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt of a happy person to wear. That’ll make him happy.”

The prime minister was called to the palace. But when they explained the king’s situation to him, he said, “Although I have a lot of power, it doesn’t make me happy. I’m always worried about losing my power. Many people are trying to take my position.”

Then, the king’s banker came to the palace. “Oh, I’m afraid I’m not happy either,” he said. I have a lot of wealth, but I’m always worried about losing my money. Someone tries to steal my money every day.”

Next, the palace singer came to the king’s room. But this is what he said: “It’s true that I’m famous and everyone loves my songs. But I’m not happy because I’m always worried about being followed by others. I cannot be free!”

Finally, the king’s top general was told to go out and find a happy man in three days’ time.

The Winning Team

Peter kept his eyes on the ground and felt a heavy weight on his shoulders as he walked home alone. It was the worst day of his life. His mind would not stop thinking about what happened only just an hour ago on the school soccer field. How could he have missed scoring that goal? He had let his whole team down. His stupid mistake made him angry. His team lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach may kick him off the team.

As soon as he walked through the door, his father asked, “What’s wrong, son?” Peter’s feelings were written all over his face. “I lost the game,” Peter replied. Then he went into his room without another word. Ten minutes later, Peter heard his father knocking on his bedroom door. He opened the door to let him in.

“Look, Peter. I don’t know what happened. But whatever it was, don’t be too hard on yourself.”

“I lost the game, Dad. I failed my team. They’ll probably never let me play again.” “Soccer is about team effort. You’re not the only reason your team lost. If you have a good team, you should support each other. Besides, winning or losing is only half the game. The other half is learning how to communicate with your teammates and learning from your mistakes.”

Peter didn’t say anything but what his father said made him think carefully.

The next day, Peter went to soccer practice with courage rather than fear in his heart.

“Hey, guys,” he said to his teammates. “I’m really sorry about yesterday. We were so close to winning that game. But I think if we continue to pull together, we’re going to win the next one.”

To his surprise and relief, his teammates all nodded in agreement.

“Yeah,” they said, “don’t worry about it. It’s never just one person’s fault. We should think about how we can do better next time.”

Peter smiled. It made him feel lucky to know that he was on a winning team.

很久以前，在一个富饶而又美丽的国家里，住着一位不开心的国王。他睡不好觉，也没有食欲。他总是面色苍白，还常常无端哭泣。这让往后和他的子民都很担心。

胜利之队

彼得的眼睛盯着地面，当他一个人独自走在回家路上的时候，觉得双肩沉重。今天是他人生中最糟糕的日子。他脑海里总停不住想一个小时以前学校足球场上发生的事。他怎么错过了进球呢？他让全队都失望了。他愚蠢的错误使他生生气。整个球队因为他而输掉了比赛。他还担心教练会把他赶出球队。

 

 

他一走进家门，他爸爸就问：“怎么了，儿子？”彼得的情绪都写在脸上。“我比赛输了。”彼得回答。然后，他不再说话走进了自己的卧室。十分钟后， 彼得听见爸爸在敲卧室门，他打开房门让爸爸进来。

“彼得，你来看，我不知道发生了什么。但不管结果怎样，不要对自己太苛刻。”

“我输球了，爸爸，我导致了球队的失败。很可能他们再也不会让我踢球了。”“足球是靠团队的集体努力，”你不是导致球队失利的唯一原因。如果你们是一只优秀的球队，你们应该互相支持。此外，输 赢只是比赛的一半。另一半是学会怎样和队友合作，怎么样从错误中吸取教训。” 彼得没说什么，但是爸爸的话使他陷入了沉思。

第二天，彼得并没有害怕，而是勇敢地去参加了足球训练。“嗨，伙伴们，”他对队友说：“我对昨天的失误非常抱歉，我们差点就赢了。但我想只要我们继续团结一致，我们就会赢得下一场比赛。”出乎意料而又让他欣慰的是，他的队友都赞同地点了头。

“是的，”他们说：“别担心了，失败绝不是一个人的错误。我们应该考虑的是下一次我们怎么能做得更好。”

彼得笑了。他为自己属于一个奔向胜利的球队感到庆幸。
