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
anything. 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 to steal 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.
