We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished (惩罚). But remember, it’s only for your honesty.”

I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy.

Once there was a teacher who took all his students for tea. What made the students    1  was that all the cups on the table were  2  . Each of them took a cup and started   3 their own tea, looking at the   4  cups.
The teacher said; "Do you notice your   5 ? You are all looking at each other’s tea cups and  6  of you even envy (羡慕) the   7  cups of others."Then he went on: "I put the different cups here on purpose! Life is like    8  tea.

You forget to enjoy your own life when you envy someone else’s life. We all have the same thing——life. We should care more about the tastes of your own life. So now, taste your own tea.
