    At a gas station, I noticed a woman sitting alone at a picnic table. Though it was1, she was dressed in a winter jacket.

    When I got home, I quickly filled a bag with some2, drinks, a new T-shirt and some new socks. Several minutes later, I returned with the bag. The woman was still sitting there. I asked if I could3 near her. She agreed. I offered her the bag and she accepted it. She then asked me to share a snack from the bag with her as she had4 nothing that that day. Then the woman began to share her sad story.

    She once had a happy family, but a(n)5changed everything five years ago. She was6 and lost her family in that crash（撞车）. She wore this jacket7 it was the last thing she bought with her children. She 8 them and often came here because her children loved this picnic table.

    For an hour, I sat there with her. We shared 9 and tears. I listened to her and comforted her. She also helped me10 that in the blink（眨眼）of an eye, everything might change.

    He was pleased to learn that Chibi knew all the places where the wild grapes and wild potatoes grew. He was amazed to 1 how much Chibi knew about all the flowers in our class garden. He liked Chibi's black and white drawings and put them up on the wall to be 2. He liked Chibi's own handwriting, which no one but Chibi could read, and he put that up on the wall.

    But, when Chibi appeared on the stage at the talent show of that year, no one could 3 his eyes. "Who is that? What can that stupid do up there?"

    Until Mr Isobe announced that Chibi was going to imitate(模仿) the voices of crows. "Voices? Voices of crows?"

    4he imitated the voices of newly hatched crows. And he made the mother crow's voice. He showed how crows cry early in the morning. He showed how crows cry when the village people have some unhappy accident. He showed how crows 5 when they are happy and cheerful. Everybody's mind was taken to the 6mountainside from which Chibi probably crone to school.

    Chibi made very special 7deep down in his throat(喉咙) to imitate a crow in an old tree in the end. Now everybody could imagine   8the far and lonely place where Chibi lived with his family.

    Then Mr Isobe explained 9 Chibi had learned those calls--leaving his home for school at sunrise, and arriving home at sunset, every day for six long years.

    Every one of us cried, thinking how much we had been 10 to Chibi all those long years. He was a boy beyond our usual imagination!

    When I was a junior high school student in 1980, God gave me a gift. It was happiness.

    One weekend, I went to visit my grandparents in the countryside. On my way home, a car ran over me and cut off my arms because of its high speed.

    Several days later when I woke up at the hospital, I realized I had to spend the rest of my life 1arms. How sad I felt at that time! Even I was full of fears, but slowly I knew I had to face the fact and got over it. 1 couldn't get my arms back even though I 2 every day.

    However, it's easier 3 than done. It took me nearly half a year to get out of the sadness 4. I got so much from my past story. From then on, I could treat my life with a usual mind. But in our daily life, I often see my classmates 5 about little things: They get a bad grade on a test; their bus comes 6 ; they don't have a mobile phone but 7 have, and so on. But I only 8 life. I was lucky to realize from an accident: It is a waste of our life to pay attention to what you have 9 . We should always think of what we have. So why are so many people unhappy? Someone may say, "My whole life would improve if I have a new car." But when you get the car and what  10? For a whole week you are walking on air. Then you go right back to being unhappy.

    Happiness depends on what we have! It's in our heart. Happiness comes from knowing the art of appreciating(感激) and taking pleasure in what you really have.
