Mr. King was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy. 　Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars: ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room. 　Mr. King soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as price for that small room.” he thought. He called his assistant over and said, “Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room.” The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide five dollars? I'll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back, and Mr. King will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man. Each man had at first paid ten dollars. After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had paid nine. There were three men, $ 9Ⅹ3 = $ 27. The assistant kept $ 2. 　　 $ 27 + $ 2 = $ 29. Where is the missing dollar? (　　 ) 21.

When you are feeling unhappy or forget how great you are, these are six ways to make you feel good about yourself.

1) Look in the mirror and say to yourself, “I am a special person and there’s no one in the world like me. I can do anything!” It may not sound so good, but it really works!

2) Do something nice for someone. Helping others always makes you feel good.

3) Smile! Be friendly to people you meet. Look for the good things in your friends and family.

4) Learn something new! Have you always wanted to decorate your own room or learn how to swim? New challenges are fun and give you a sense of accomplishment when you have finished.

5) Read and start a diary. Turn off the TV and let your imagination fly! Write down your thoughts, dreams or anything you want! Writing always helps to express your feelings.
