In desperation, Chris Emch joined in a group Scuba trip to Indonesia. About 11 meters 5 water, he removed a borrowed earplug(耳塞), causing 6 to his ear drum. The injury forced Emch to 7 the Scuba trip. He 8 have packed up and gone home. Instead, the 41-year-old man decided to have a look around the 9 islands. So Emch hired a local 10 named Fritz to show him around. He was 11 by the local attractive sights and unique cultures. But 12 affected Emch most was his conversations with Fritz.
Fritz earned about $140 a month, lived in a 13 house and took on odd jobs to provide for his wife and son. But Emch realized that Fritz was 14.

They looked content though they were 15.
"I had everything I could ever want and still 16 all the time," he said. "I realized how happy my life was and how 17 I was to have the life I had been given.
"From that point on, Emch had a new 18 on life. "Things taste better and things smell better now," he said. He always tries to see the good 19 in people and he has become confident and cheerful again.
"Travel truly 20 my life, and changed my outlook," he said. "Compared to who I was a year ago, some of my closest friends don't recognize who I am anymore."
