Excerpt

The king is ill and the medicine men don’t know why. Someone suggests that the king wear a happy man’s shirt for a night. Soldiers are dispatched to find a happy man. It is a long and ardu- ous search, no one is willing to claim he is happy. The soldiers zoom in on a guy singing happily under a tree. “Are you happy?” they ask. The man smiles and nods. “Will you give your shirt to the ailing king?” He replies, “But I don’t have a shirt!”
