Lucky or Not?
是否是好运？
When I was a small child, I usually thought it was a good luck to be sick in bed. You see, when you are ill, you can stay home. There is no need to finish so much homework. Your parents will take care of you. Besides there is always something good to eat. Isn't it enjoyable to eat so much nice food?
A week ago, I was really in hospital. It was painful for me to stay in bed for several days. I couldn't get up. I couldn't even move. I didn't want to eat anything though there was a lot before me. I missed my classmates and teachers so much that I was anxious to get back to meet my friends. I was also worried about my final examination.
Now I have grown up. I have changed my mind.
注释：

英文：
When I was in junior high school, there was an incident that made me question whether I was lucky or not.
One day, I found a wallet on my way home from school. It was filled with money and a few important-looking cards. I was surprised and didn't know what to do. On one hand, I could keep the money and no one would know. On the other hand, I knew it was wrong to keep something that didn't belong to me.
After much thought, I decided to return the wallet to its owner. I found a contact number in the wallet and called it. The owner was an elderly man who was very grateful. He insisted on giving me a reward, but I refused.
The next day, I was called to the principal's office. I was scared and thought I was in trouble. To my surprise, the principal praised me for my honesty and integrity. The elderly man had called the school to express his gratitude.
So, was I lucky or not? I didn't keep the money, but I gained something more valuable – respect and recognition for doing the right thing. I realized then that being honest and doing the right thing is the real luck.
中文：
当我在初中的时候，有一件事让我质疑我是否幸运。
有一天，我在放学回家的路上找到了一个钱包。钱包里装满了钱和一些看起来很重要的卡片。我感到惊讶，不知道该怎么办。一方面，我可以留下这些钱，没有人会知道。另一方面，我知道留下不属于自己的东西是错误的。
经过深思熟虑，我决定把钱包归还给它的主人。我在钱包里找到了一个联系电话并打了过去。钱包的主人是一个老人，他非常感激。他坚持要给我奖励，但我拒绝了。
第二天，我被叫到了校长办公室。我很害怕，以为自己有麻烦了。出乎我的意料，校长赞扬了我诚实正直的品质。那位老人打电话给学校表达他的感激之情。
那么，我是幸运还是不幸运呢？我没有留下那些钱，但我得到了更有价值的东西——因为做了正确的事情而得到的尊重和认可。那时我意识到，诚实和做正确的事情才是真正的好运。
