Finding Happiness in Etsya

Once upon a time, there lived a queen named Rose in the land of Estya. Queen Rose was absolutely beautiful, and had everything a Queen could dream of! She had a handsome King, servants and waiters in her huge castle, delicious food, a large closet full of endless options of fancy dresses.

There was only one problem in Queen Rose’s life. She was not happy. Having everything meant nothing to her if happiness wasn’t part of her life she was living. She didn’t seem to understand how after becoming Queen and having her own castle, she still was not genuinely happy!

Queen Rose decided to go on a quest. A quest for happiness! Along with her, she took her favorite servant Jasper to seek happiness. On their journey they arrived to the village of wizards where they found a wonderful wizard named Zoras. He told Queen Rose that with a little magic anything was possible! “Abra Cadabra….Happiness!” Zoras said that within the next hour the queen will be happy.

The Queen still did not seem to be happy. She and Jasper continued their quest for happiness. They found a shepherd who gave Queen Rose a box. He told her, “This is a box filled with happiness. When you will open the box, you will find happiness.” She thanked him, and opened the box in a hurry!

Queen Rose stared at the empty box of happiness for a minute, and realized that nothing changed. Determined to find happiness, she continued her search with Jasper. They traveled all over Etsya and met a wandering child. He wandered endlessly with a huge smile on his face… A smile full of happiness. Queen Rose ran up to him and said, “Excuse me little boy! You look so happy! Where did you find your happiness?” The little boy giggled and said, “What do you mean? Being happy comes from within! If you decide that you’re going to be happy, nothing will stop you!”

“Wow, maybe he’s right! I’ve been searching for happiness, but not in the right places. From now on, I am deciding to be happy!” Queen Rose said. Jasper and Queen Rose hugged the happy little boy, and went back to the kingdom. The Queen couldn’t stop smiling, and already felt the happiness within her.

Queen Rose arrived to her castle and told everyone about her journey with Jasper. They all decided to be happy along with the Queen, and they lived happily ever after.
