It was a typical Wednesday. My wife and I were speaking in a nursing home (疗养院) about our successful recoveries from our heart attacks. Afterward, one of the other residents, Miriam, asked if we had a few minutes to talk.

“I’ve always thought that to be 1 I need three things: someone to 2 , something to do and something to look forward to,” she said. “I’ve got people here to love, and the activities to 3 me as busy as I want, but I don’t have anything I’m looking forward to. Do you have any 4 ?”

“What did you look forward to before you came here?” we asked.

“Oh, I used to love to laugh with others,” Miriam said.

“What did you 5 about?” we asked.

“Everything I could see, hear, feel, taste or smell,” she said with a smile.

At that very moment, we got the idea to start our 6 . We began looking for humor, and we used all of our 7 . We started with a teabag with the 8 : You are like this teabag… only in hot water do you realize how strong you are. 

We continued 9 and found cartoons and videos filled with humor. People brought us stickers, books, games and magazines. We 10 together humor baskets with books, tapes, greeting cards and toys for children of all ages. 

Of course, we 11 a humor basket for Miriam, the woman who had 12 us on this project – “Search for a Smile and Share it”. She told us that the 13 of her day was sharing the 14 of her basket with everyone she saw. 

The project was so 15 that other facilities heard of it and made special 16 . One nursing home asked us to make a humor cart, like a shopping cart. Volunteers 17 this down the hallways, sharing smiles and laughs with 18 . Still another nursing home requested that we 19 a humor room, complete with a projector showing fun videos.

I was doing some shopping in Newmarket, Ontario, one day almost 6 years ago.

轻松一刻

A story is not like a road to follow, it’s more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors (走廊) relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows.

– Alice Munro (Canadian writer, 1931 – )

小说不像一条道路,它更像一座房子。你走进里面,待一小会儿,这边走走,那边转转,观察房间和走廊间的关联,然后再望向窗外,看看从这个角度看,外面的世界发生了什么变化。

——爱丽丝·门罗

轻松一刻

One day a teacher tries to teach her young students the names of animals. She asks students to name an animal whose name begins with “E”. One boy answers: “Elephant.”

“Great!” The teacher praises the boy. Then she asks for an animal that begins with a “T”. The same boy quickly answers: “That’s too easy. Two elephants.”

The teacher gets angry and sends the boy out of the class for bad behavior. After that she asks for an animal beginning with “M”.

The boy shouts from the other side of the wall: “Maybe an elephant!”
