An old man lived in the village. The whole town was tired of him; He was always sad, complained constantly and had always been talking in a bad mood. The longer he lived, the more vile he was and the more poisonous his words were. People did their best to avoid him because his misfortune was contagious. It created the feeling of unhappiness in others. But one day, when he was eighty years old, something incredible happened. Instantly everyone began to hear the rumor and the boy had said: "the old man is happy today, he does not complain about anything, he smiles and even his face seems brighter". The whole village gathered around the man and they were asking him: "What happened to you?" The old man replied, "Nothing special. Eighty years I have been pursuing happiness and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just strive to enjoy life. And thus I have achieved happiness." Moral of the story: don't pursue happiness and enjoy life.
