"Pretty Stones" By oregano Wanda discovered the place where all happiness comes from. She was was walking up a cool stream, looking for pretty stones for her pretty stone collection. Wanda moved big rocks aside as she came to them, looking underneath for small, prettier stones and she accidently moved aside a big stone that held back happiness. She looked with glee as all the happiness that was trapped by the stone was released and went flying into the world. The next morning she woke up and all the newspapers had headlines which were happy. She read them all and was happy herself that she caused all the happiness to be let out. But a week later, Wanda noticed that the headlines each day were lass and less happy. The headlines became angry then angrier. Wanda went back to the stream and walked up it, past all sorts of pretty rocks. She found the place where happiness comes from. She saw that all the happiness that had built up was gone, there was no more in reserve, moving the rock had released a lot of happiness but now there was no more to go out. Wanda rolled the stone back to its original place, blocking where happiness comes from, but not cutting it off. Balance was restored in a few days and happiness was back in the world in its normal amount. Now Wanda only rolls back the stone twice a year. Once on Christmas so everyone can be happy together, and once on her birthday, so she can have the happiest birthdays ever.
