  Q* T8 ^7 e$ W6 E% E# E: wThe older daughter was married to a man who sold umbrellas, while the younger one was married to a man who sold straw hats.                
6 y4 G1 u5 J; z0 y6 ]) I4 ^- i( `大女儿嫁给了一个卖雨伞的，二女儿嫁给了一个卖草帽的。
! S% @+ D" j, B9 k6 d7 y& nTherefore, whenever it was a fine day,                
所以，每当遇到晴天的时候，
7 @1 h$ [) q2 p8 L& {4 |. Kthe mother would sigh: “Oh, it’s a bad day for my elder son-in-law.”
做母亲的就会叹气：“哎！大女婿的雨伞卖不出去了。”
. i& z. V0 Q+ ^: y" y2 g( YBut if it was a rainy day, she would sigh as well: “Nobody’s going to buy my younger son-in-law’s straw hats.”
3 t# k" H& I0 c9 h( B+ d遇到雨天，她还是会叹气：“二女婿的草帽没人买了！” ，
So she was never happy, rain or shine.
8 D2 e, z( L8 v所以，晴天雨天老太太都不高兴。

# B- U  e6 T1 Y" Q- r. i可是老先生却恰恰相反，不论晴天雨天，老先生都很高兴。
On sunny days, he would think that his younger son-in-law would sell lots of straw hats,
晴天时他想到二女婿的草帽会卖得好，
and on rainy days he would think of his elder son-in-law doing well selling his umbrellas.
雨天时他想到大女婿的雨伞会卖得好，
In reality, happiness is a kind of attitude.

  k3 ?; Y4 R4 Y: k" ^It is never far from you, depending on whether you are contented or not.
它离你不远，关键是看你知不知足
