The Shirt of a Happy Man (Part I)


A long time ago, in a rich and beautiful country, there lived an unhappy king. He slept badly and didn't feel like eating. His face was always pale as chalk. He often 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 my money every day."

Next, the palace singer came to the king's room. But this was 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.

快乐男人的衬衫（上）


很久以前，在一个富饶而美丽的国家里，住着一位不幸的国王。 他睡得不好，也不想吃东西。 他的脸总是像粉笔一样苍白。 他经常无缘无故地哭。 这让王后和他的臣民们很担心。

一天，一位医生被叫来给国王做检查。 但他发现自己的身体没有任何问题。 “这都是他的想法。 药物和休息都帮不了他。 他需要的是一件快乐的人穿的衬衫。 那会使他高兴的。”

首相被叫到王宫。 但是当他们向他解释国王的处境时，他说:“虽然我有很多权力，但这并不能使我快乐。 我总是担心失去力量。 很多人正试图取代我的位置。”

然后，国王的银行家来到宫殿。 “哦，恐怕我也不高兴，”他说。 “我有很多财富，但我总是担心失去我的钱。 每天都有人试我的钱。”

接着，王宫的歌手来到国王的房间。 但他是这样说的：“我确实很有名，每个人都喜欢我的歌。 但是我不开心，因为我总是担心被别人跟踪。 我不能自由!”

最后，国王的高级将领被告知要在三天内出去找一个快乐的人。

The Winning Team


Peter kept his eyes on the ground. He felt like there was a heavy weigh 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 had lost the game because of him. He was really worried that his coach might 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.

"Year," 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.

获胜团队


彼得的眼睛一直盯着地面。 当他独自走回家时，他觉得肩上有很重的东西。 那是他一生中最糟糕的一天。 他的脑海里不停地想着仅仅一小时前在学校足球场上发生的事情。 他怎么可能没进那个球呢？ 他让整个团队都失望了。 他愚蠢的错误使他生气。 因为他，他的球队输掉了比赛。 他真的很担心教练会把他踢出球队。

他一进门，父亲就问:“怎么了，儿子？” 彼得的感情写在他脸上。 “我输了这场比赛，”彼得回答。 然后，他二话没说就走进了自己的房间。 十分钟后，彼得听到他父亲敲他卧室的门。 他打开门让他进来。

“瞧，彼得。 我不知道发生了什么。 但不管是什么，不要对自己太苛刻。”

“我输了比赛，爸爸。 我辜负了我的团队。 他们可能再也不会让我打球了。”

“足球需要团队合作。 你不是球队输球的唯一原因。 如果你有一个好的团队，你应该互相支持。 此外，输赢只是比赛的一半。 另一半是学习如何与队友沟通，并从错误中吸取教训。”

彼得什么也没说，但他父亲的话促使他仔细思考。

第二天，彼得带着勇气而不是恐惧去参加足球训练。 “嘿，伙计们，”他对队友们说。 “昨天的事我真的很抱歉。 那场比赛我们差一点就赢了。 但我认为，如果我们继续齐心协力，我们将赢得下一场比赛。”

令他吃惊和欣慰的是，他的队友们都点头表示同意。

“是的，”他们说，“别担心。 这绝不是一个人的错。 我们应该想想下次怎样才能做得更好。”

彼得笑了。 知道自己在一个获胜的队伍里，他感到很幸运。 短语 _________ Peter got home and went into his room.
