Once there was a small hotel whose keeper was always caring about money.
One day, a businessman arrived. The keeper looked at the man’s thick wallet and thought, “Oh, I wish that all the money could be mine!” The businessman didn’t notice that, so he ordered the most expensive room and went to his room to dress for dinner.
Around the hotel, there were some beautiful ginger(姜) plants. Many people said that eating the buds(芽) of ginger would make a person forgetful.
The keeper thought, “If I serve some buds of ginger to the businessman, he may be forgetful to take his wallet!” Then she went to the kitchen.
Soon, businessman came downstairs and asked for dinner. The keeper was very excited as she served the dish to him. “Delicious!” said the rich man. When dinner was finished, he went to bed happily.
In the next morning, the keeper saw the businessman leaving from the front door. As soon as he was out of sight, she ran up to his room. She looked all over the room for the wallet, but she couldn’t find it. Suddenly, she noticed a piece of paper on the floor. It was the businessman’s bill(账单). He had forgotten to pay it! She ran down the stairs, out of the front door, and across the road until she was out of breath, but the businessman was already far, far away. “I’m so silly!” cried the keeper.

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends tend(有……打算) to live happier and healthier lives.
The second secret to leading a happy life is to be active. Many people experience this, dancing or playing a sport. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone.
