A man took a pair of shoes to a shoe repair shop and said to the shoemaker, "I'd like you to repair these shoes for me, please."
"Certainly, sir," the shoemaker said.
"When will they be ready?" the man asked.
"I'm a bit busy, but they'll be ready for you on Thursday." he said.
That's fine," the man said, and left the shop.
The next morning he received a letter, offering him a job in another country. Within 24 hours he was on an airplane to his new job.
Twenty years passed and he returned to his hometown.
He remembered his shoes.
"They were a good pair of shoes," he thought. "I wonder if the shoemaker is still there and still has them. I'll go and see.擾He was pleased to see that the shoemaker was still in the same shop ,although he was an old man by now.
"Good morning," he said to him. "Twenty years ago, I brought in a pair of shoes to be repaired. Do you think you've still got them?"
"Name?" the old shoemaker asked.
"Smith," the man said.
"I'll go and see. They may be out back.
The shoemaker went out to the back of his shop -and a few minutes later returned ,carrying the pair of shoes.
"Here we are," he said. "One pair of brown shoes to be repaired. I'm a bit busy now, but they'll probably be ready on Thursday."

以下是翻譯：

一個男人帶了一雙鞋子去修鞋店，他對補鞋者說：「請幫我把這雙鞋子補好吧。」

「當然可以，先生。」補鞋者答到。

「你什麼時候可以修好呢？」男人問到。

「我現在有點忙，不過可以確保周四幫你補好。」

「嗯，很好！」說完，那個男人就離開了。

第二天早晨，那個男人收到了一封給他在另一個國家提供工作的信。在24小時內他就已經登上了去工作地的航班上。

二十年之後，他回到了自己的家鄉。

他想起了自己的那雙鞋子。

「那是一雙很好的鞋子」，他腦海里想著，「我想那個補鞋者還會不會在那裡，並且還保存著那雙鞋子呢？我得去看看。」他到那以後，高興地發現那位補鞋者還在同一個補鞋店裡，只不過，到了現在他已經是位白發蒼蒼的老人了。

「早上好！」他對那位補鞋者說，「二十年前，我帶著一雙鞋子來您這里補，請問那雙鞋子還在您這里嗎？」

「你的名字是？」老補鞋者問道。

「史密斯。」男人回答。

「我去找找看，也許它還在我房後的儲存室里。」

那位補鞋者進到了他商店的後頭，過了幾分鍾他出來了，並帶著一雙鞋子。

「鞋在這呢！」，老補鞋者說道，「一雙棕色的鞋子待補，但是，我現在有點忙，或許我只能在這個周四幫你補好了。」

5Love Your Life 熱愛生活
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不論你的生活如何卑賤，你要面對它生活，不要躲避它，更別用惡言咒罵它。它不像你那樣壞。你最富有的時候，倒是看似最窮。愛找缺點的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺點。你要愛你的生活，盡管它貧窮。甚至在一個濟貧院里，你也還有愉快、高興、光榮的時候。夕陽反射在濟貧院的窗上，像身在富戶人家窗上一樣光亮；在那門前，積雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一個從容的人，在哪裡也像在皇宮中一樣，生活得心滿意足而富有愉快的思想。城鎮中的窮人，我看，倒往往是過著最獨立不羈的生活。也許因為他們很偉大，所以受之無愧。大多數人以為他們是超然的，不靠城鎮來支援他們；可是事實上他們是往往利用了不正當的手段來對付生活，他們是毫不超脫的，毋寧是不體面的。視貧窮如園中之花而像聖人一樣耕植它吧！不要找新的花樣，無論是新的朋友或新的衣服，來麻煩你自己。找舊的，回到那裡去。萬物不變，是我們在變。你的衣服可以賣掉，但要保留你的思想。
