A
Tom is a successful businessman(商人). He spends most of his time making money. But one day, Tom finds that his son, Max, is spending more and more time on his phone and has no interest in anything else. He thinks it is time to make a change.
So Tom decides to take Max on a trip, not to an expensive restaurant or a park. Instead, he chooses the village. When they get there, everything feels different. The houses are simple, and there are few shops or cars. But Tom is surprised that Max has no problem fitting in. He quickly makes friends with local(当地的) children. They play games and laugh together. He even talks with an old woman who kindly gives him some homemade snacks.
Two days later, it is time to leave. On the way back, Tom asks his son, “What do you think of life in the village?” The boy thinks for a moment, and says, “In the village, I can run freely in the fields and play with so many children. The night sky is full of stars. I did not see that before in the city. And people here can grow their own food.” Max goes on, “What I like most is how everyone looks after each other. They share their things and always help each other.”
Tom smiles and asks, “But people here don’t have much money, right?” Max shakes his head and says, “No, Dad. They may not be rich in money, but they are rich in happiness.” Hearing this, Tom looks at his son, smiling.
