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.扰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."

以下是翻译：

一个男人带了一双鞋子去修鞋店，他对补鞋者说：“请帮我把这双鞋子补好吧。”

“当然可以，先生。”补鞋者答到。

“你什么时候可以修好呢？”男人问到。

“我现在有点忙，不过可以确保周四帮你补好。”

“嗯，很好！”说完，那个男人就离开了。

第二天早晨，那个男人收到了一封给他在另一个国家提供工作的信。在24小时内他就已经登上了去工作地的航班上。

二十年之后，他回到了自己的家乡。

他想起了自己的那双鞋子。

“那是一双很好的鞋子”，他脑海里想着，“我想那个补鞋者还会不会在那里，并且还保存着那双鞋子呢？我得去看看。”他到那以后，高兴地发现那位补鞋者还在同一个补鞋店里，只不过，到了现在他已经是位白发苍苍的老人了。

“早上好！”他对那位补鞋者说，“二十年前，我带着一双鞋子来您这里补，请问那双鞋子还在您这里吗？”

“你的名字是？”老补鞋者问道。

“史密斯。”男人回答。

“我去找找看，也许它还在我房后的储存室里。”

那位补鞋者进到了他商店的后头，过了几分钟他出来了，并带着一双鞋子。

“鞋在这呢！”，老补鞋者说道，“一双棕色的鞋子待补，但是，我现在有点忙，或许我只能在这个周四帮你补好了。”

5Love Your Life 热爱生活
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.
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
