of
Being
Happy
Photo by Francesco Moldavian

2. Once there was
an angry young
girl. As she was
washing the
dishes she
heard a sound
which annoyed
her very much.

3. She turned and
saw a butterfly
trapped inside
the house. She
picked up a
magazine to kill
it but then she
heard………..

4. a whisper. She
bent down and
heard, “Don’t hurt
me. Don’t hurt
me. You need
me.” Surprised,
the girl opened
the window and
let the butterfly
escape.

5. The butterfly
turned into a
beautiful angel
and said, “To
repay you, I’ll
give you one
wish.”

6. The young girl
thought and
finally answered,
“I want to be
happy”. The
angel bent down
and whispered
something in her
ear, then
disappeared.

7. Many happy
years later, now
old, she lay
dying. Her
friends gathered
around her bed.
They asked,
“Please tell us
your secret of
happiness.”

8. The woman bent
over and
whispered, “The
angel told me I
was now an
angel and
wherever I went,
I’d meet people
who would need
me.

9. It is meeting
those needs that
has kept me
happy. The
secret of
happiness is to
be needed and
to understand
how important
that is.

10. Teachers are needed
by their students.
There isn’t another job as important.
Make your students feel needed and
you too will bring life long happiness
to them.
