Once a mouse lived happily but the reason of his happiness was very simple. “I own a great and magical sun, which could bring warmth and lights every mountain, river, plant and animal. As to this, everyone said there was something wrong with the mouse, for the sun belonged to everyone. Nevertheless, mouse was so stubborn that it was sure that the sun belonged to it, hence, it cherished the sun very much. Every morning when it saw the sun rising from the eastern mountain, it would feel very happy. Everyday it was so fond of sunshine, enjoyed its warmth and wrote poems to praise the sun. Comparing with the mouse, the lion had many troubles. Because it failed to strive for a land, it lost face and dignity, so it thought of suicide, which made him take great pains. If it chose to jump into the sea, it was afraid that its body would be eaten by crocodile; if it chose to jump off the cliff, it was afraid that its body would be smashed to pieces; if it chose to hang itself, it was afraid that many animals would laugh at it. Hence, it strived to live painfully. Gradually, the lion found that the mouse was very happy, so it thought it was still more powerful than mouse even losing a land, but the mouse was still happy. Hence the lion seized the mouse and said, “You should tell me the secret of your happiness, otherwise I will eat you.” “I don’t have any secrets of happiness indeed. I just live ordinarily.” The mouse said frankly. “It is impossible, for there must be reasons to achieve happiness.” The lion said cruelly. Upon seeing the mouse unwilling to tell it, the lion doubted whether the mouse had valuable things, so it ordered the mouse to take its favorite thing out. “My favorite thing is the sun. Don’t you own it?” The mouse said. “What good things? Everyone has the sun.” The lion got impatient. “If we didn’t have sun?” The mouse questioned. The lion was very shocked, for it never thought of this problem and it found that in fact, sun is the most valuable treasure. Yes, whether we are happy or not lies in our mentality, so we should adjust it well and learn to be satisfied, otherwise, happiness will be far from us.
