Please read the story carefully,then translate the red sentences and tell me what are you thinking about when you read the whole story~Don't be shy,just make your imagination fly in your sky!

       Linda was young and lonely. She had no family and no one to love her. One day she was walking in the open air when she saw a small butterfly caught in a thorn bush. The more the butterfly tried to free itself, the deeper the thorns cut into its body. Linda carefully freed the butterfly from the thorns. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. Linda could not believe her eyes.     "For your wonderful kindness," the good fairy said to the girl," I will give you any wish you would like."
    The little girl thought for a while and then said," I want to be happy!"
     The fairy said," Very well," and said something in her ear. Then the good fairy vanished.
    As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the land as happy as she. Everyone asked her the secret of her happiness. She would only smile and answer," The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl."
    When she was very old and on her deathbed, everyone stayed at her bed, afraid that her secret of happiness would die with her." Tell us, please," they said." Tell us what the good fairy said."
    The lovely old woman simply smiled and said," She told me that everyone, no matter how old or young he was, how rich or poor, had need of me."

    A content mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.
                                                                                        —— Joseph Addison
