All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation   could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, "Only a miracle   can save him now," the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She ran to a drugstore with the money in her hand. "And what do you want?" asked the salesman. "It's for my little brother," the girl answered. "He's really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle." "Pardon?" said the salesman. "My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?" "We don't sell a miracle here, child. I'm sorry," the salesman said with a smile. "Listen, if it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs." A well-dressed man heard it and asked, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?" "I don't know," she answered with her eyes full of tears. "He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it, so I have brought all my money." "How much do you have?" asked the man. "$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more," she answered. "Well, what luck," smiled the man.

Question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: When I was eleven years old, God gave me a gift of happiness and I had a carefree childhood in France. One day, on my way home from school, a truck ran over me and my legs were cut off. As I lay there bleeding, I suddenly realized that I might have to live the rest of my life without legs. How depressed I was at that moment! But then I realized that depression won't get my legs back. So I decided not to waste my life feeling depressed. When my parents arrived at the hospital, they stood there quietly, looked so shocked and sad. I told them, "I've already accepted the fact. Now you also have to get used to this." Ever since then, I often see my friends getting worried about little things: The buses comes late; they get bad grades on the tests and so on. But I just enjoy life. I was lucky to realize that it is a waste of energy to pay attention to what you have lost, and that the key to happiness is to take pleasure in what you have. Sounds simple, doesn't it? So why are many people unhappy? People often think happiness is based on what they achieve. "My whole life would improve if I had a new car." But when they get the car and what happens? For a whole week they are walking on air. Then they go right back to be unhappy. Happiness is not a happening; it's a state of mind. Even though you have the whole world and you'll still be unsatisfied. And you have relatively little but feel full of joy. Happiness comes from mastering the art of enjoying and taking pleasure in what you already have. Question: The author wants to tell us  _  . - how one person enjoys a life without legs. - we should forget the loss and the gains in life - happiness is just a state of mind - our life will be improved if we fight for our dreams
Answer: happiness is just a state of mind
