Seeing Life in a Different Light/换个角度看生活

An elderly couple had two daughters.                
一对老两口有两个女儿，
The older daughter was married to a man who sold umbrellas, while the younger one was married to a man who sold straw hats.                
大女儿嫁给了一个卖雨伞的，二女儿嫁给了一个卖草帽的。
Therefore, whenever it was a fine day,                
) u$ I4 H& A% G0 c4 y所以，每当遇到晴天的时候，
% U- Z2 M2 b$ t* ~the mother would sigh: “Oh, it’s a bad day for my elder son-in-law.”

But if it was a rainy day, she would sigh as well: “Nobody’s going to buy my younger son-in-law’s straw hats.”
遇到雨天，她还是会叹气：“二女婿的草帽没人买了！” ，
So she was never happy, rain or shine.

But her husband saw the matter in a different light.He was happy, rain or shine.
