The Shirt of a Happy Man (Part I)
快乐者的衬衫（第一部分）
Along time ago, in a rich and beautiful country, there lived an unhappy king.
很久以前，在一个富饶美丽的国家里住着一位不快乐的国王。
He slept badly and didn't feel like eating. His face was always pale as chalk. He often cried for no reason. This made the queen and his people worried.
他睡不好又不想吃东西。他的脸总是像粉笔一样惨白。他常常毫无缘由的哭泣。这让女王和他的臣民很担心。
One day, a doctor was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. "It's all in his mind.
一天，一名医生被召来为国王检查。但是他发现国王的身体并没毛病。“这是心病。
Neither medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt of a happy person to wear. That'll make him happy."
药物和休息都帮不了他。他需要的是快乐的人穿过的衬衫。这样他就开心了。”
The prime minister was called to the palace.
首相被召进皇宫。
But when they explained the king's situation to him, he said, "Although I have a lot of power, it doesn't make me happy.
但当他们向大臣解释了国王的情况后，他说：“虽然我有很多权利，但是这并不能让我快乐。
I'm always worried about losing my power. Many people are trying to take my position." Then, the king's banker came to the palace.
我总是担心失去权力。很多人都试图取代我的位子。”然后，国王的银行家来到皇宫。
"Oh, I'm afraid I'm not happy either," he said. " I have a lot of wealth, but I'm always worried about losing my money. Someone tries to steal my money every day."
“噢，恐怕我也不快乐吧，”他说。“我很有钱，但是我总担心失去我的金钱。每天都有人想要偷我的钱。”
Next, the palace singer came to the king's room. But this was what he said: "It's true that I'm famous and everyone loves my songs.
接下来，皇宫的歌唱家来带国王的房间。但是他说：“我确实很出名，每个人都喜欢我的歌。
But I'm not happy because I'm always worried about being followed by others. I cannot be free!"
但是我并不快乐，因为我总担心被人跟踪，不能自由！”
Finally, the king's top general was told to go out and find a happy man in three days' time.
最后，国王的高级将领被告知要外出并在三天内找到一个快乐的人。
