Cummings once said, “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” Laughing and smiling are the best medicine of all illnesses. They keep a life of joy.

You want to yawn, too! Yawning iscontagious.Scientists have found that all people yawn. Babies start to yawn even before they are born. The earliest yawn takes place when a baby is still inside its mother. When young children are about one year old, they start to yawn when they see others yawning. Thats why scientists think yawning is contagious.Its no secret that yawning is contagious, but why do we yawn? Well, scientists are not really sure.Some think we yawn because we feel bored. Others believe yawning has something to do with breathing. When there is too much carbon dioxide(CO2) in our bodies, our bodies will tell the brains to breathe deeply. That causes a big yawn.In 2007, scientists said people yawned to cool down their brains. These scientists found people yawned more often if they were warmer than others.Scientists are still trying to find out why yawning happens and why it is so contagious. But they are only sure that when one person yawns, immediately everyone else nearby wants to yawn, too.50 .

Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.Even so, he enjoyed it so much that he worked day after day to improve. Despite his efforts, they would always find something wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.The young man wasnt going to give up, so he decided that from then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it away and start again. Years passed, and with each new attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By that time, his puppet was much better than anything that the other apprentices could make, but he kept making improvements. Living like that, the man wasnt making any money, and many people laughed at how poor he was.By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly wonderful. Finally, after so many years of work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, “I cant find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect”. And for the first time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it up on the shelf, feeling truly satisfied and happy.It is well-known that perfect puppet, Pinocchio, came to life after that, had a thousand adventures, and gave that old man whose name was Geppetto more joy than any other famous puppet-maker had ever got from any of their creations.54 .
