(2021·重庆八中初三诊断卷)Once upon a time, there lived a king who was neither happy nor satisfied. One day, the king met a servant who was singing while he worked. This surprised the king. Why did a poor servant have so much joy Then he asked his most trusted adviser(顾问)．
The adviser said, “Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99 Club.”
“The 99 Club What is that？” the king asked.
The adviser replied, “To truly know what The 99 Club is, place 99 gold coins in a bag and leave the bag at the servant's doorstep.”
When the servant saw the bag and opened it, he let out a great shout of joy! So many gold coins!
From that day on, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked, impatient to finish his collection of 100 coins. He stopped singing while he worked.
Seeing this great change, the king was puzzled(迷惑的). The adviser said, “The servant has now joined The 99 Club.”
He continued, “The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never satisfied. They are always working hard for the one coin they haven't got. They keep telling themselves: Let me get that one final thing, and then I'll be happy for life. What's more, people in the club often have to pay the price for their growing needs and desires. They lose their sleep, their happiness; they even hurt people around.”
We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute we are given something bigger and better, we want even more! That's what called joining The 99 Club!
