The pursuit of happiness is a quest that can last a lifetime, but what is happiness and how do we find it?
In this story an overworked man who lives in the city thinks that buying lots and lots of things will help him become happy, but he soon realises that it won't. Then the most unusual character (a talking fish) tells him that to find happiness he must travel to the far mountains, and there he will find a man who holds his happiness.
Who is this man and what is the happiness he holds- the precious story is a beautiful story about finding the true source of happiness.
After the story consider the following questions:
1- Can you think of the last tie you were happy? Tell the story to somebody in your family.
2- Sometimes we are happy and sometimes we are sad, it's important that we know what to do to become happy- what do you like to do to cheer yourself up when you are feeling sad?
3-In the story the man under the tree holds the secret to happiness in a kind heart. Being kind to others is really easy and you don't need lots of things, just a simple smile or a 'hello' can cheer somebody's day. Can you head outdoors and do a random act of kindness for somebody today?
