9.A bird went to look for its happiness in the distance.
It flew and flew when it suddenly saw a little wilting flower,whose face was full of smile.Not knowing why,the bird asked the little flower,"You are going to die.Why are you still so happy?"
"Because my dream will come true,"said the little flower.
"What kind of dream do you have?"
"To bear(结出 ) sweet,delicious fruit."
Then the little bird saw it:happiness is a hope in the heart.
The little bird kept flying; it flew and flew when it suddenly saw a lame duck,which was singing a song.Not knowing why,it asked the duck,"The fate treats you so unfairly.Why are you still so happy with yourself?"
"Because I saw a little duck fall,"said the duck.
"So are you happy because you saw it trip over itself?"
"No,I'm happy because I helped it stand up again."
Then the little bird saw it.happiness is a love in the heart.
The bird kept flying; it flew and flew when it suddenly saw a spider climbing up a slippery(湿滑的 ) wall.The spider fell off the wall midway,but it kept climbing again and fell off again.This didn't discourage(使…泄气) the spider; it kept climbing over and over again.Not knowing why,the little bird asked the spider,"You failed again and again.Why don't you have pain but happiness on your face?"
"As long as I keep making my efforts,there is still hope to climb up it.Because of this,I'm so delighted,"said the spider.
Then the little bird saw it.happiness is a faith in the heart.
So the little bird pursued happiness no longer because it had seen the truth:happiness is not in the distance but in your heart.
