An old man lived in the village. He was one of the most unfortunate people in the war. The whole village was tired of him. He was always gloomy. He constantly complained and was always in a bad mood. The longer he lived, the more bile he was becoming and the more poisonous were his words. People avoided him because his misfortune became contagious and it was even unnatural and insulting to be happy. Next scene he created the feeling of unhappiness in others. But one day when he turned eight years old, an incredible thing happened and something everyone started hearing the rumor. An old man is happy today, doesn't complain about anything. Smiles and even his faces freshen up. The whole village gathered together. The old man was asked, what happened to you? Oh, he said, nothing special. 80 years I have been chasing happiness and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That's why I'm happy now. The moral of the story is that don't chase happiness and enjoy your life.
