Happiness and Money
一、从开心到不开心
1、A poor man and a rich man were neighbours and the latter wondered what made the poor man and his family happy all day, for laughter could be heard over the wall of the yard from morning till night.
2、Having decided to do something, the rich man threw a bag of gold coins to the other side of the wall.
3、Ever since then, everyone beyond the wall became quiet and laughter could be heard no longer, which made the rich man rather pleased.
二、从不开心到开心
4、He and his family talked about the matter in low voices every day and often burst into laughter, which was sure to be heard by the neighbours.
5、One month later, happiness came back to the poor man's yard for the rich man could hear his neighbours' laughter once again.
6、The rich man did not know what had happened on the other side of the wall, until one day, he learned that the local charity had received a bag of gold coins from an unknown person.
