Question

【題目】

There once lived a man with his wife and children in a very small house. There was always noise in his house as his children played, laughed and sang. The man could find no peace at all in his house, so he decided to ask a wise old woman for help.

He told her about his problem. “Bring all of your farm animals into doors to live in your house,” advised the woman. “Bring in your sheep, horses, cows, chickens…” The man thought it was not good. But since the old woman was known for her wisdom(智慧), he agreed to do as she said. He went home and brought inside all the farm animals he had.

As you could imagine, it was out of order at home. The animals made all kinds of noise. The man could find no peace at all, so he went back to ask the wise old woman. She listened patiently to his complaint(抱怨), and then offered some new advice. “Go home and take all of the animals out of your home.”she said. The man was surprised, as it had been only a few days since she had advised him to bring them all into his house. But he agreed to follow her instructions. He returned to his house and drove all the animals outside. To his surprise, his home became peaceful.

We should see how bad things can get before we thank for what we already have.

本文是一則故事，一個男人覺得家里不安寧，所以詢問了聰明的老婦人，第一次這位聰明的老婦人建議這個男人把所有的農(nóng)場動物帶到家里，第二次又建議他把所有的農(nóng)場動物從家里趕出去，此時這個男人感覺家里變得平靜了，故事告訴我們：我們應(yīng)該先看看事情會變得多糟，然后再感謝我們已經(jīng)擁有的東西。
