The Lovely
Lake

2. Once there was
a boy who was
happy when he
was fishing...

3. ...at the same
lake, but on the
other side of
the pond, there
was a girl who
was not too
happy...

4. Because when
she was little,
her father did
not teach her
how to fish...

5. ...But the girl
always felt
better and
happy because
she had a
magic frog that
could talk and
which was her
friend and
cheered her
up...

6. In reality, deep
inside, the girl
was happy, but
she did not
know it...

7. ...She was happy
whenever she was near
the pond, because the
animals enchanted her...

8. ...As time
passed by, the
girl realized
that she did
not have to
know how to
fish to be
happy...

9. ...then she finally
remembered that her
father taught her to
respect nature and that it
was not cool to feel happy
due to the death of
another animal... So, this
tought made her happy...

10. So, this is the secret to being
happy, to care and be cared by
others...
