新加坡最幸福的女佣。。。 Happiest maid in Singapore…

July 23, 2010

昨天报章上读了这篇有趣也“感人”的报道，一个忠心照顾主人24年的菲律宾女佣在雇主去世时，继承了雇主在遗嘱里留给她的新币六百万遗产。。。

从报道来看，她仿佛的确是一个好女佣，而且跟雇主感情良好。

我觉得感人的地方在于她回答记者的问题，当被询及继承了那么庞大数目，她是否觉得自己是全新加坡最幸福的女佣，她回答：“不管有没有那笔钱，我都是新加坡最幸福的女佣。”

很有智慧的答案吧？

I read in the paper yesterday this interesting and “touching” article. A Filipino maid who faithfully served her employer for 24 years inherited S$6 million from her employer when the employer passed away….

From the report, she seemed a really good maid who had a very good relationship with the employer too.

The part I felt touched is how she answered the reporter when being asked whether she thought she is the happiest maid in Singapore after inheriting such a huge amount. She answered, “I’ve always been the happiest maid in Singapore with or without that amount of money.”

A very wise answer, right?
