(76) Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what ea
2、ch age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult.

3、having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known.

4、s, or being punished for what he has done wrong.(77) When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to
5、 as a child, he will be hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison.
