" What are you doing here , young man ," asked an old man who lived nearby .
The young man turned and said . " I'm tired , old man . I 've made ​​it this far in search of happiness , but I get the feeling it would not go . I do not know where else I should look for ... "complained a young boy , his face grim .
" On the front there is a garden . Go there and catch a butterfly . After that I will answer your question , "said the grandfather . Despite doubts , the young man went to the designated direction . Arrived there , he was amazed at the beautiful garden with trees and flowers are blooming and the butterflies fluttering in there .
From the far grandfather saw the young man crept toward the target . Hap ! The target was missed . Chased butterflies in the other direction . Hap ! Again failed . He ran irregularly , crashing grass , plant flowers , shrubs . But , none successfully captured butterfly .
Approached the old man and the boy to stop . " Is that how the pursuit of happiness ? Busy running to and fro , bumping aimlessly , without a break even matter what you order? "
The old man firmly and said, " Son, look for happiness like catching a butterfly . You do not need to physically catch the butterfly , let him fulfill this universe according to its function . Capture the beauty of color and movement in your mind and keep it carefully in your heart .
Similarly with happiness . Happiness is not a thing that can be grasped and stored somewhere . He is not going anywhere , but everywhere . Nurture as well as possible , come up any moment with gratitude happiness then without you knowing it will often come alone . Do you understand ? "
The boy was stunned and suddenly his face was happy . " Thank you sir old . It was a very valuable lesson . I will go home and bring happiness in my heart .. "
The old man raised his hand . Before long , a butterfly perched on the tip of the finger and flap their wings , radiating beauty of God's creation . The color is so beautiful , as beautiful as happiness for those who can fathom .
