Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
Life has its ups and downs, and only true friends always stay around. Like anyone else, I have got many friends. They often help me when I’m in trouble. Especially, when I fail in an examination, they always care for me and encourage me to study harder. Last year, when I was hurt in a basketball game, my friends took me to the nearby hospital at once and look after me by turns. In my eyes, friends are the most precious wealth that one should treasure all his life.
今天我的脑子里在胡思乱想,不知道怎么想的,就想到这个问题——一个人一生中最重要的是什么?
我想:对于那些贪婪的人和贫穷的人来说,金钱最重要。对于爸爸妈妈来说,我们的健康和平安是最重要的。对于那些病人来说,健康是最重要的。我认为一个人一生中,快乐是最重要的。你们想一想,如果一个人没有了快乐,那即使有金钱,有健康,有平安,那又怎样。一个人如果只有快乐,其它一无所有,我也要说,他?她是全世界最富有的人,因为他?她这一生过的充足、快乐。一个人如果有了快乐,什么疾病都能治好,任何东西都无法代替快乐,如果你现在还是不快乐的话,那就赶快快乐起来吧。如果你身边有人不快乐的话,那你就一定要想尽办法来让他?她快乐起来,因为你会在帮助他?她的过程中,体会到助人为乐的快乐。
快乐是我们这一生最大的财富,任何东西都无法代替快乐。只要你记住这两句话,你就会成功的。相信我,赶快行动起来吧!如果你们还有答案的话,就请告诉我吧。我会好好的感谢你们,因为你们帮了我一个大忙。谢谢了!
快快行动吧,不要让我等急了,另外,记住我的话,一定要快乐哟!
