The owner was so thankful to me that she took out a 100yuannote to reward me.But I politely refused it and went back home. 根据下面两幅图画， 以“Laughter Is the Best Medicine”为题， 写一篇不少于120词的短文。_One possible version: In our daily life, if we laugh more often we will feel happier and healthier because “laughter is the best medicine”. From the pictures, we can see everyone seems quite happy. That is because laughter can really bring us a lot of benefits. First, laughter has a similar effect to physical exercise.
