很久以前，在一个富有魅力的国家生活着一个不快乐的国王。他睡眠不好而且不想吃东西。他总是面色苍白。他经常无缘无故地哭。这使王后和他的臣民很担心。
一天，一名医生被招入宫给国王检查。但是他发现国王身体没什么疾病。都在他的思想。药和休息都不能帮助他。他所需要的是一件快乐的人穿的一件衣服。那将使他快乐起来。
大臣被招入宫，但是当他们把国王的情况解释给他时，他说：“虽然我有很大的权力，但是它并没使我开心。我总担心失去我的权力。许多人想取代我的位置。
然后，国王的银行家来到宫殿。他说：“恐怕我也不开心。我有很多财富，但我总担心失去我的钱。每天有人想偷我的钱。”
后来，国王的歌唱家来到宫殿。但是他是这样说的：“我很出名且每个人都喜欢我的歌，但我也不开心，因为我总担心被别人模仿，我不能自由。”
最后，国王的将军被派出去在三天内找到一个快乐的人。

How to be happy
(as) pale as chalk 面色苍白
(as) pale as chalk是一种比喻的修辞方式。此处省略了第一个as。
【特别提醒】英语中表示脸色苍白不能用white，而要用pale。
chalk在此处指“白垩 [è]”，是一种灰岩，而不是“粉笔”的意思哦！
examine / ɡ z m n/v. (仔细地)检查；检验
【拓展延伸】examine作动词时还可意为“考，测验(某人)”。
examine 作及物动词，在此处意为“(仔细地)检查；检验”，其名词形式为examination。
Language Points
neither … nor … 既不......也不......
neither … nor … 表示否定含义，用来连接两个并列的主语、谓语、宾语或表语等。当连接两个并列的主语时，谓语动词要与邻近的主语在人称和数上保持一致，即遵循“就近原则”。
其反义短语是both … and … (......和......都)，连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词用复数形式。
