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 电脑 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.

快乐者的衬衫！（1）
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。
一天，一位医生被招来给国王检查身体。但他发现国王的身体并没有任何的问题。“他的病都在心里。药物和休息对他都无效。他需要的是一个快乐的人所穿的衬衫，那会使他快乐起来。”
首相被叫到宫殿，但当人们把国王的情况向他解释后，他却说：“尽管我有很多权利，但他并没有让我快乐。我总是担心会失去权力。有许多人都在试图取代我的位置。”
接着，国王的银行家来到宫殿，“唉，我恐怕也不快乐呢，”他说：“我有很多财富，但是我总是担心丢失钱财。每天都有人想窃取我的金钱。”
接下来，宫殿的歌手来到国王的房间，但是他却这样说：“的确我很有名，而且每个人都喜欢我的歌。但是我并不快乐，因为我总是担心被人跟踪，我没有自由。”
最后，国王的大将军被派出去，要他在三天之内找到一个快乐的人。
