Happiness of Seven Cents
One of my friends told me a story while we were chatting online, that when she was a student, a boy made a bet with her that who plays table tennis better.She had only a few cents in her pocket, just like a church mouse at that moment.
Then they said that the loser would pay for the winner bread which cost 7 cents per pound in the university dinning hall.And my friend could afford it,as well.
It was winter time in Xi'an . My friend is a left-handed player, and seemed strong enough against her antagonist at the beginning.But later, the boy found the way of forehand drives and he suppressed my friend,therefore he won the game by 2 to 1.
At last,my friend gave that boy the bread which had cost her only seven cents.
Simply 7 cents from my friends,got them the friendship and happiness of theirs.
The story happened in 1994. People at that time were not as rich as we are now.
Nowadays, wallets have became our neighbors. We often eat in a restaurant and enjoy our feast or dinner which cost us about hundreds dollars. But still, there are some one, maybe includ you, are still enjoying the happiness of poor.
Maybe it is because we will take no longer seven cents as it is.
Do you have seven cents in your pocket now?
