Happiness

There once was a man who walked around town, happy all the time. No one knew his name, but because he was so friendly and happy, they all called him the Happy Man. The Happy Man carried a backpack with him whenever he walked through the town, filled with candy, sweets, and other small treats, which he handed out to children and others as he stopped to talked to people throughout the town. However, if he were to meet another in his travels who was similar to him, he always asked for money.

One day, as he walked through the town, he encountered a man from another city. The visitor was friendly and kind. The Happy Man asked him for a handout. The Visitor responded by asking him what was the significance of his happiness. The Happy Man sat down and was silent.

Then the Visitor asked him, how do you represent your happiness. The Happy Man then stood up and continued on his way.
