Peter was getting ready to graduate from the college. He loved a beautiful sports car for many months, and knew his father could well afford it for him. He told his father all that he wanted.
As the graduation day was coming near, Peter had got nothing from his father. On the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. He told his son how proud he was to have such a good son, and told how much he loved him. Then he gave his son a beautiful gift box. He opened the box, finding a lovely book, a Bible(圣经), with the young man’s name in it. Angrily he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then ran out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years later, Peter was very successful in business. He had a beautiful house and a wonderful family. Realizing his father was old, he thought he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Unfortunately, he was told that his father had died.
When he reached his father’s house, he began to take care of his father’s papers. And then he found the Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened it and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, from the back of the Bible dropped a car key. That was the key to the sports car he wanted so much. Sudden sadness and regret (悔恨)filled his heart.
Sometimes we don’t realize the good luck that we already have because we don’t know the gift box is packed in a different way. The gift box may be the door to happiness. It is just waiting for us to open.

Henry was from the United States and he had come to London for a holiday.
One day he was not feeling well.  So he was to the clerk at the desk of his hotel and said, “I want to see a doctor. Can you give me the name of a good one?”
The clerk looked in a book, and said, “Dr. Grey.”
“Is he expensive?”
“Well,” the clerk answered, “he always asks for his patients two pounds for their first visit to him, and 1.5 pounds for later visit.”
Henry decided (决定)  to save 50 pence. When he went to see the doctor he said, “I’ve come again, doctor.”
For a few seconds the doctor looked at his face carefully without saying anything. Then he nodded and said, “Oh, yes.” He examined (检查) him and then said, “Everything’s going as it should do. Just continue (继续)with the medicine (药) I gave you last time.”
