Blog five Pass on Happiness to Others

Pass on Happiness to Others

I have read a story for many times.(I don’t know why the examiners like this story so much that I have work out for it many times.) The story is about happiness. A man was paid by a couple in the restaurant. When he wanted to pay back to the couple, he was given a small piece of paper, saying that: you can pass on this happiness to others, make others happy, too. In the end of the passage, the author paid for a girl’s dinner and gained happiness both.

What a mendacious story is it, I thought. It would never happen in our daily live. Who will pay for your dinner if he/she don’t know who you are? In China, may be some relatives, friends and colleagues will pay for you.

But in America, things happened more than once on myself. In Starbucks, there were some people drinking coffee to relax themselves. They talked with others with smile, the teeth were like the pearls shining by the sunlight. The strong smell of coffee bean lingered around my nose, along with the soft and classic music. I walked to the counter, and glance back and forth at the menu. An American woman smiled at me and greeted to me:”How was your day going, boy?” “Fine, I think.” I answered quickly because I have received American friendly greet for many times.She asked some questions about my summer school in Miami University. “You like drinking coffee?Maybe I can recommend some wonderful kind of coffee to you.”she said. “That will be cool!Right?” I said happily and looked forward to getting respond from her. She stood up and walked to the counter and said “I wanna this coffee.”She paid for me!Yes, she did it! It was amazing! She paid for me, a unknown Chinese boy. I don’t know how to talk with her to express my surprise and happiness. “Thanks so much, it is very kind of you!” “HHH, that’s all right. Maybe you can bring this happiness back to China:)”

Oh, it really happened to me! In her deep blue eyes, what I saw was the enthusiasm and love to the people around her.
