The Slurt of a Happy Man (Part I)
一位快乐的人的衬衫(第一部分)
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.
很久以前,在一个富饶又美丽的国家里住着一位不快乐的国王。他睡不好觉并且不想吃东西。他总是面色苍白。他经常无缘无故地哭泣。这使王后和他的臣民们很担忧。
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. "
有一天,一位医生被叫来给国王做检查。但是他发现国王的身体没有毛病。“病都在他的心中。药物和休息都不能能帮助他。他需要的是一件心情快乐的人所穿的衬衫。那会使他快乐的。”
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 powerl it doesn't make me happy. I'm always worried about losing my power. Many
people are trying to take my position.”
