There was a restaurant at the entrance of a famous mountain with its beautiful scenery. When the cold winter came, the number of hikers had been decreased and people rarely visited the restaurant. One day, a welcome guest came. He was a teacher of the restaurant owner, who came from far to see him.
“How have you been? Is your business going well?”
“As you see, there is not a single visitor. I’m so distressed.”
“How was it in last autumn?”
“I was very busy as the restaurant was crowded with people coming to view the autumn colors of the mountain.”
“Then, how was it in summer?”
“It was full of summer visitors thanks to the vacation season.”
“Really? How about spring, then?”
“It was also full when the cold started to subside.”
“Then what is the big deal? Isn’t it a good thing to have a short break after constant busy work? How happy you are!”
