Chloe and her father visited the countryside. Chloe was very excited. As they rode in a car, Chloe said, “Daddy, the air is so fresh here. Back home, there’s a lot of smoke from cars and buses.” Her father smiled and nodded. When their car passed by the river, Chloe again said, “Daddy, the people in this village are so lucky. This river here has no end, but back home we have just a small swimming pool.” Her father said, “You’re right, dear.” When they passed by the fields, she said, “There are huge fields here, but back home we have just a small piece of land.” At night, Chloe looked at the stars and said, “The stars and the moon are prettier than the city lights!” Chloe’s father told her, “Happiness cannot be measured by material wealth alone, my dear. Freedom, love and closeness to Nature are far more valuable.”
