Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here is a story to help you.

Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness.

It flew and flew. Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn’t give up. The little

bird asked the spider in surprise. “Why don' t you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again?”

“Because I keep making my efforts. I'm happy.” said the spider.

Then the little bird saw it happiness is a will in the heart.

The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the way back home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face.

“I'm happy because I can help others.” said the lame duck.

So the bird saw it happiness is a love in the heart.

The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn’t know the reason. So it asked the little flower, “You're going to die. Why are you still so happy?”

“Because my dream will come true,” said the little flower.

“What is your dream?”

“To produce sweet fruit.”

The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.

So the little bird no more looked for happiness because it had seen the truth happiness is not in the faraway place but in your own heart. You are the maker of your own happiness.

In the city I live in, some seats on every bus come in orange color, different from the rest which are blue. Those seats are intended for (預(yù)留) a certain group of people—the old and some who need special care, such as the disabled or those with small babies. So you can often see young people choose to take others seats i1. of the orange ones if possible.

One day, my friend Lisa got on a bus and found the only untaken seat was an orange one. She hesitated(猶豫) for a moment and slowly walked to it and s2. down. As the bus went on, passengers(乘客) gather from stop to stop and the bus became really crowded(擁擠) . At that time, someone near the door asked loudly if there was anybody who would like to o3. a seat to the old man who had just got on the bus. On hearing it, Lisa looked a4. to see where the old man was. She was even about to get up but found it d5. for her to stand up. Thinking that someone near the old man would help him, she remained(保持) seated. In fact, she had another r6. for sitting but she said nothing. To her s7. , she soon became the target of criticism(批評的目標(biāo)) from some people standing beside her.

“Shameless,” a voice said.

“Morality decays(道德敗壞),” another voice added.

Lisa kept s8. as the short conversation went. She didn’t want to say anything. She “should” feel ashamed(羞愧). Lisa turned her face to the window to hide her embarrassment(尷尬).

If you were a passenger on that bus, would you stand out against her and blame(責(zé)怪) her for not giving up her seat? If I hadn’t known the story of Lisa’s side, I would. However, the truth is: Lisa had just a small o9. in hospital last week and was in recovery (恢復(fù)). Her doctor had told her to sit instead of s10. as much as possible. The long bus trip would give her trouble if she stood all the way.
