Wonderful taste, sweet with a little bitterness...
A good story is one that brings a tear to the laughter...
3 short stories, 3 paragraphs of children's words,
Life has its ups and downs, and they are all the best gifts.
Let’s think about the meaning of life together.

1. Broken Plate

The younger brother accidentally broke the plate that his older sister made...
The younger brother feels very sorry, why doesn’t the older sister care?
Although I want to keep precious items forever,
But there are actually more important things in the world...

2. Dirty Snowman

The snowman is dirty.
It knows that once winter is over,
They will melt away and disappear.
So I started talking to myself...
Why do I exist in this world?
If so, is there any other option?

3. Boring Movie

The brother and sister finished watching a boring movie.
My brother began to worry, what if his future life...
What should I do if I keep encountering boring things?
At this time, my sister came up with a different idea.
The world may be different from what people think!
