The old woman said, “Youth is the best thing.”

　　The merchant said “Profit.”

　　The painter said, “ Color.”

　　The prisoner said, “Freedom.”

　　The mother said, “ My precious child.”

　　The young man said, “ The smile of my beloved girl.”

　　None of these answers had satisfied him. He kept moving forward and encountering different people. Finally he came back to the wise man with all kinds of answers.

　　The wise man seemed to have known his experience and his disappointment, so he rubbed his gray beard and said, “ Stop looking for the answer as you will never find a precise and unique one. Think about it. Is there anything or scene that you like most now??hThrough the long and wearisome journey the man had suffered hunger and cold with dust covered all over his body. He thought for a while and told the wise man, “I have been out for a long time. I missed my wife and lovely kids. I missed the scene that my whole family sat around the stove talking and laughing in winter nights,” he could not help but sigh, “That’s my favorite picture now!”

　　The wise man patted him on the shoulder and said, “ Go home. The best thing is in your home now. It will cheer you up.”

　　The man was not convinced, “But I left from my home.”

　　The wise man smiled, “You didn’t know what you like before the journey, but now you must have known what you are fond of.”
