The Day of the Shining Ball

In the palace square, a crystal ball shone - a symbol of happiness and joy of the Little Kingdom. According to legend, it granted happiness to everyone who touched it. But one day, the advisors noticed that the ball had dimmed. It was said that if it went out, the kingdom would face decline. People increasingly approached the ball only with complaints and requests. Then the queen ordered everyone to share their joy with it. But how to make people happy by decree? Wise books and stars suggested that happiness should be sought not only within oneself but also in the world around. Then messengers set off to distant lands to find joy and goodness and bring them to the kingdom.
