Seeing Life in a Different Light/换个角度看生活

An elderly couple had two daughters.                
" h+ @8 t/ a- [# a一对老两口有两个女儿，
& j2 L7 b0 d: U: WThe older daughter was married to a man who sold umbrellas, while the younger one was married to a man who sold straw hats.                
大女儿嫁给了一个卖雨伞的，二女儿嫁给了一个卖草帽的。
Therefore, whenever it was a fine day,                
所以，每当遇到晴天的时候，
the mother would sigh: “Oh, it’s a bad day for my elder son-in-law.”
/ V+ B3 w+ U+ e做母亲的就会叹气：“哎！大女婿的雨伞卖不出去了。”

So she was never happy, rain or shine.

But her husband saw the matter in a different light.He was happy, rain or shine.

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.
: w. {. m! Q# C$ n# X# x/ E  b雨天时他想到大女婿的雨伞会卖得好，
In reality, happiness is a kind of attitude.
其实，幸福就是一种心情，
: Z8 `; n  [* N+ I. ]. K4 f9 cIt 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
