“My happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl. when she was very old and on her deathbed, the neighbors all rallied around her, afraid that her fabulous secret of happiness would die with her. tell us, please, they begged. tell us what the good fairy said. the lovely old woman simply smiled and said, she told me that everyone, no matter how secure they seemed, no matter how old or young, how rich or poor, had need of me.”
