The Secret of Happiness

Sad and lonely,an orphan girl was walking through a meadow one day 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 girl carefully released the butterfly from its captivity.Instead of flying away ,the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy.The girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"For your wonderful kindness ",said the good fairy to the girl."i will grant you any wish you like ".

The little girl thought for a moment and then replied,"I want to be happy!"

The fairy leaned forward and whispered in her ear..and then vanished.

As the little girl grew up,there was no one in the land as happy as she.

Everyone asked her the secret of happiness.She could only smile and answer"the secret of my happiness is that i listened to a good fairy when i was a little girl."

When she was old and dying,the neighbours rallied around her,afraid that her fabulous secret of happiness would die with her.
"Tell us what the good fairy said "

The lovely old woman simply smiled and said,"She told me that everyone , no matter how secured they seem,no matter how old or young , how rich or poor,had need of "ME".
