Once upon a time, there lived a kind hearted man. After he died, he ascend into the heavens and became an angel.
> After becoming an angel, he often comes down to earth and help those to attain happiness.
>
> Once, he met a farmer who was sulking. He told the angel that his bull
> just died and he couldn't plough the fields. The angel gave the farmer a
> healthy bull. The farmer was very happy and the angel could
> feel his happiness.
>
>
> Another time, he met a young man who was despondent. He
> told the angel that he was robbed of his money and couldn't travel to
> his hometown. The angel gave him some money. The young man was very happy and
> the angel could feel his happiness.
>
>
> This time, the angel met a poet. He was young, handsome and
> full of talent. He was also rich. His wife was pretty and gentle.
> But he declared he wasn't happy.
>
>
> The angel asked, "You aren't happy. How can I help
> you?" The poet replied, "I have everything. But I lack only one
> thing. Can you give it to me?" To which the angel happily said, "Sure.
> I can give you anything you desired." The poet stared right into
> the angel's eyes, "I want happiness." "All right," the angel
> nodded. And the angel proceed to take away some of the the poet's possession.
>
>
> The angel destroyed his looks, took his riches and made his
> wife fierce. The angel then left for heaven. A month later, the angel
> appeared in front of the poet. The poet was lying on the ground, half
> dead, hungry and struggling for survival. The angel then returned him
> everything he once possessed and left for heaven again.
>
> Two weeks later, the angel paid a visit to the poet. This
> time, the poet, together with his wife, thanked the angel profusely.
> He finally found happiness.

>
> Often, a person needs to lack something before he knows how
> to cherish.
> Actually, happiness is right in front of you. Just what
> is happiness?
> When you are hungry, a bowl of hot noodle in front of you
> is happiness.
> When you are tired, a soft bed is happiness. When you sad,
> a friend to console. When you are sick, getting to consult a doctor
> is happiness.
> Actually, happiness has no definition. Sometimes, small
> actions can touch your heart. Happiness or not, depends on how you
> look at it.
