The Ultimate Happiness

One day a father and daughter went to a shop to buy a birthday dress for the girl.
The girl chooses an expensive one and the father was not in a situation to buy it because it was higher than his budget.
He took the girl out of the shop and headed straight to a nearby slum. He showed the girl the children playing there and she noticed that they were either not wearing any dress or were wearing torn dresses.
The father told the girl "See molu, these children are happy with what they have. " Your happiness doesn't lie in what you wear but it lies in your heart and the way you accept things.
The little girl couldn't understand much. But she smiled and told her dad to choose a good birthday dress for her.
The father gifted the child a nicely stitched khadi dress.
Till date the girl even after growing up continues to wear only khadi or handloomed sarees.
