THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.

There is a wonderful fable about a young orphan girl who had no family and no one to love her. One day, feeling sad and lonely, she was walking through a meadow when she noticed a small butterfly caught in a thorn bush. The more the butterfly struggled to free itself, the deeper the thorns cut into its fragile body. The young orphan girl carefully released the butterfly. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl was very astonished.

“For your kindness”, the fairy said to the girl, “I will grant you any wish you would like”.

The little girl thought for a moment and then replied “I want to be happy”.

The fairy said “Very well”. She whispered something in her ear.

As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the land as happy as she was. Everyone asked her the secret of her happiness. She smiled and answered, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to the fairy when I was a little girl”.

When she was very old and on her deathbed, the neighbours all gathered around her. They were afraid that her magic secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please”, they begged. ”Tell us what the good fairy said.”

The old woman smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, no matter how secure they seemed, no matter how old or young, how rich or poor they were, they all had need of me”.
