Have you ever felt life is bad? Do you find that life seems to make things difficult for you and everything seems to go wrong? I sometimes felt that way，but a friend changed me．

He told me that although he didn't have enough money，he was happy．I asked why he was happy．Then he told me what he saw in India．

A few years ago，he was really feeling sad and went to India．He saw an Indian mother cut off her child's right hand with a knife．After that he could never forget the sad eyes of the helpless mother and the child．The reason why the mother did that was to beg．The mother did this so that the child could go out on the streets to beg and get some food to eat．

Then he began to think about how happy he was．He had food to eat，a complete body，a job，a family，the chance to say that some food wasn't delicious，and many things that the mother and the child in front of him never dreamed of having．

After hearing his story，I began to think about it，too．Was my life real1y that bad? Perhaps it wasn't．It wasn't bad at all．

What about you? Next time you think that your life is bad，think about the child who lost one hand so that he could beg on the streets．
