When I just couldn't take it anymore, I went to the wise ram.

What is happiness?


Happiness?

Let me tell you the story of Selma.

Once, there was a sheep named Selma.

Every morning Selma would eat a little grass,

play with her children until lunch time,

exercise in the afternoon,

eat some more grass,

have a little chat with Mrs. Miller in the evening,

and finally, fall fast asleep.


Asked what she would do if she had more time, Selma replied:


Well, I would eat a little grass,

play with my children until lunch time,

exercise in the afternoon,

eat some more grass,

have a little chat with Mrs. Miller in the evening,

and then finally, fall fast asleep.


And, if you won a million dollars?


Well, I would love to eat a little grass,

play with my children until lunch time,

exercise in the afternoon,

eat some more grass,

and it would be nice to have a little chat with Mrs. Miller in the evening,

before finally falling fast asleep.
