心足 one's heart is contented o coração está contente

夏天 ， 最好 梗係 喺 屋企 開 住 冷氣 睇 電視 啦 ！ In summer, the best thing to do is to turn on the air-conditioning in your house and watch TV!

依家 好 熱 呀 ， 阿孝 除 晒 衫 等 自己 涼 啲 。

佢 望 出 窗 ， 有 一 班 人 喺 出面 搞 咗 幾 個 月 都 唔 知 搞 緊 咩 ， 又 搬 沙 ， 又 搬 水 噉 。 When she looked out of the window, she saw a group of people who had been working for months without knowing what they were doing, moving sand and water.

阿孝 跑 去 問 媽媽 ： 「 依家 咁 熱 ， 出面 啲 工人 咁 辛苦 喺度 整 緊 咩 呀 ？ 」

媽媽 放低 個 炭 燙斗 ， 話 ： 「 今晚 你 就 知 ！ Mom lowered the charcoal iron and said, "You'll see tonight! 好 喇 ， 好 去 食嘢 ， 啲 嘢 凍 晒 喇 。 」 Okay, let's go and have some food, and some of it will be frozen. "The Laundromat

阿孝心 諗 ： 吓 ， 依家 三十 幾 度 ， 屋企 又 冇 冷氣 ， 我 驚 啲 嘢 熱 都 嚟唔切 啦 ！ Hsiao's thoughts: It's over 30 degrees at home and there is no air-conditioning in the house, so I am afraid that the heat is not enough for me to come!

不過 阿孝 係 一 個 好 易 知足 嘅 人 ， 有得 食 已經 好 好 㗎 喇 ！

阿孝 食 完 嘢 就 一 支 箭 噉 跑 咗 出去 ， 佢 今日 約 咗 阿怡 一齊 玩 。

佢 同 阿怡 玩 咗 冇耐 ， 阿怡 就 出 晒 汗 喇 。 阿怡 話 ： 「 阿孝 ， 不如 今日 嚟 我 屋企 玩 啦 ！ 」

阿孝 話 好 。

阿孝 都 係 第一 次 去 阿怡 屋企 ， 佢 一 入屋 就 坐低 開 電視 。 It was the first time Ah-hsiao went to Ah-yi's house, and he sat down and turned on the TV as soon as he entered the house. 阿怡 有啲 無奈 ： 「 又 係 呢啲 節目 ， 悶 到 死 。 」 Ah Yee is a bit helpless, "I am bored to death with these programs again. I am so bored."

阿孝 睇 到 眼都唔眨 ， 心諗 ： 如果 我 屋企 都 有 電視 就 好 喇 ！ Ah-hsiao did not even blink at the sight and thought, "It would be great if I have TV in my house!

見 天氣 咁 熱 ， 阿怡 開 咗 冷氣 。 阿孝 吹 住 冷氣機 嘅 凍風 ， 頭上 即刻 鑿 住 「 舒服 」 兩 隻 字 ！ The word "comfortable" was immediately engraved on Ah-hsiao's head as he blew on the freezing air from the air-conditioner! 但 阿怡 就 唔係 噉 諗 ， 佢 好 唔 耐煩 噉 話 ： 「 點解 部 冷氣 咁 耐 都 仲未 涼 㗎 ？ But Yee doesn't take it personally, she is so annoyed, "How come the air-conditioner is not cool enough? 」

阿孝 冇 理 佢 ， 心諗 ： 我 唔 貪心 㗎 ， 我 淨係 有 風扇 都 好 開心 㗎 喇 ！ Ah-hsiao ignores him and thinks, "I am not greedy, I am happy to have a fan!

阿怡 畀 咗 杯 凍飲 阿孝 ， 阿孝 諗 ： 如果 我 屋企 都 有 雪櫃 ， 我 咪 可以 成日 飲 到 凍 嘢 囉 ？ Yee gave a cup of frozen drink to Ah-hsiao. Ah-hsiao thought, "If there is a refrigerator in my house, then I can have frozen food all day long?

第二 日 佢 返 學校 問 老師 ： 「 點解 我 屋企 冇 電視 、 雪櫃 同 風扇 嘅 ？ 」

老師 摸 下 阿孝 個 頭 ： 「 阿孝 ， 電視 嗰啲 都 要 用 電 ， 而 你 住 森林 嗰 間 屋 依家 仲未 有 電纜 ， 未 有 電 就 裝 唔 到 電器 住 喇 。 」 The teacher touched Ah-hsiao's head and said, "Ah-hsiao, television requires electricity, and the house you live in does not have electricity cables, so you can't install an electric appliance to live there. "I'm sorry," he said.

阿孝 點點頭 ： 「 哦 ...... 」

講 講 下 都 夜晚 七點鐘 ， 阿孝 要 返 屋企 喇 。 夜晚 森林 好 黑 ， 又 冇 街燈 ， 阿孝 拎 住 盞 油燈 嚟 照明 ， 仲要 行 快 幾 步 —— 如果 盞 燈 冇 晒 油 ， 佢 就 要 摸黑 返 屋企 㗎 喇 ！ The forest is so dark at night, there is no street light, so Ah-ha carries an oil lamp to illuminate the light, and has to walk a few steps faster - if the lamp is not oiled, he has to go back to his house in the dark!

就嚟 返 到 屋企 嗰陣 ， 阿孝 老遠 見到 屋企 前面 有 光 。 佢 收起 油燈 跑 過去 ， 見到 今朝 啲 工人 叔叔 喺度 講 咩 「 搞掂 喇 」 …… He put away his oil lamp and ran over to see what the workers' uncles were saying today. ......

媽媽 拉 住 阿孝 去 到 燈掣 前面 ， 話 ： 「 呢個 掣 就 交 俾 你 撳 喇 ！ 」

阿孝 一 撳 ， 屋企 即刻 光 晒 ！ 佢 開心 到 跳起 ： 「 著燈 喇 ！ He was so happy that he jumped up and down, "The lights are on! 電 呀 ！ 我哋 屋企 有 電 喇 ！ 」

「 我 終於 可以 夜晚 開 燈 做 功課 ， 熱 嗰陣 有 風扇 歎 、 有 凍水 飲 ， 仲 有 電視 睇 ， 唔怕 悶 ！ "Finally, I can do my homework at night with the lights on. I can enjoy the heat there with fans, chilled water and television, so I do not have to worry about being bored! 我 好 幸福 呀 ！ I'm so happy! 」

有時 幸福 好 簡單 ， 就 好似 半 杯 水 嘅 道理 ， 唔好 淨係 睇 到 自己 冇 嗰啲 ， 而 係 多 啲 睇 自己 有 嗰啲 —— 有時 你 有 嘅 嘢 仲 多 過 其他 人 ！ Sometimes happiness is as simple as half a glass of water. It is better to look at what you don't have than to look at what you do have - sometimes you have more than others!

「 簡簡單單 已 是 福 ， 平平 淡淡 已 心足 。 」 "Simplicity is a blessing, and mediocrity is enough. The simple things are good enough.
