A bird went to look for its happiness in a faraway place.
It flew and flew when it suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. Not knowing why, the bird asked the little flower," You're going to die. Why are you still so happy?" "Because I will achieve my dream." said the little flower." What is your dream?" "To produce sweet fruit." Then the little bird saw it, happiness is a hope in the heart.
The bird continued flying and saw a lame(跛足的) duck help a little duck 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 kept flying and suddenly 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," You failed again and again. Why don't you have pain but happiness on your face?" As long as l keep making my effort(努力), I can climb up it. Because of this, I'm so happy." said the spider. The little bird saw it, happiness is a faith(信念)in the heart.
So the little bird no longer looked for happiness because it had seen the truth, happiness is not in the faraway place but in your own heart.
