How to Be Happy

A long time ago, in a rich and peaceful country, there lived an unhappy king. He

slept badly and didn’t feel like eating. His face was always pale as chalk. He oft

en cried for no reason. Th is made the queen and his people worried. One day, a doctor

was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. “It’s all in his mind. Neither medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt

of a happy person to wear. Th at’ll make him happy.” Th e prime minister was called

to the palace. But when they explained the king’s situation to him, he said,

“Although I have a lot of power, it doesn’t make me happy. I’m always worried

about losing my power. Many people are trying to take my position.” Th en, the king’s banker came to the palace. “Oh, I’m afraid I’m not happy either,” he said.

I have a lot of wealth, but I’m always worried about losing my money. Someone tries

to steal my money every day.” Next, the palace singer came to the king’s room.

But this is what he said: “It’s true that I’m famous and everyone loves my songs.

But I’m not happy because I’m always worried about being followed by others. I

cannot be free!” Finally, the king’s top general was told to go out and fi nd a

happy man in three days’ time.
