Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who was lying on a beautiful beach. A businessman passed by and asked the fisherman, "Why aren't you out fishing more to earn more money?" The fisherman replied, "I've caught enough fish for my family's needs today." The businessman then said, "But if you worked more, you could buy a bigger boat, catch more fish, and make a lot of money. Eventually, you could become a rich man." The fisherman asked, "And then what?" The businessman said, "Then you could retire, relax on a beach, and enjoy your life." The fisherman smiled and said, "But I'm already doing that." What can you learn from the story? We can learn that happiness isn't about having lots of money. We can find happiness in simple things we already have. Once upon a time, there was an old man near the border. He had a horse. One day, the horse ran away. Neighbors said it was a bad thing, but the old man thought otherwise. Later, the horse came back with wild horses. Neighbors congratulated, yet the old man wasn't sure it was a good thing. Then, his son rode a wild horse, fell off and broke his leg. People felt sad, but the old man remained calm. After a while, a war broke out. Most young men in the village were drafted to fight in the war and died. But because the old man's son had a broken leg, he couldn't go to war and was saved. What can you learn from the story? A positive attitude is a kind of happiness. When we see things positively, we are more likely to focus on the good and the opportunities. There was a blind man who lived in a building. Every night, he would go for a walk in the garden downstairs. Strangely, whether he was going upstairs or downstairs, he always turned on the lights. One day, a neighbor asked curiously, "You can't see. Why do you still turn on the lights?" The blind man replied, "It helps others and me. People can see clearly and won't knock me down." Then the neighbor suddenly understood. The blind man knew that his action could prevent himself from being knocked down, but more importantly, he was happy to provide convenience for others. What can you learn from the story? Helping others is a kind of happiness. It gives us a warm feeling inside and makes us happy. Let's explore the secrets of happiness.

But I kept going over the exciting story in my mind. The book was full of magic. But Charlie's happy family was the most magical part of the story. 2 Charlie's home was a small house at the side of a big town. His family was very poor. His four grandparents stayed in the only bed in the house. The family never had enough food. They always ate watery cabbage soup for dinner. In winter, the freezing wind swept across the floor all night long.
