Long, long ago, there was a prince who always remained sad. One day, his sister called the best joker of the world. The joker told him some jokes, but the prince pushed him away. His sister asked, “Why did you push that man?” The prince said, “His jokes are so boring.” His sister asked him to apologise, but he ignored her. She went to apologise to the joker and requested him to try again the next day. She said, “Maybe he will laugh this time.” The next day, the joker asked the prince, “Why are you not laughing?” The prince said, “I am not happy without my mother. I miss her all the time.” The joker said, “Missing someone does not bring them back. It is better to remember the good times you spent with them. That way they will make you happy without even being present. Now I am going to tell you a joke.” This time the prince listened and burst out laughing.
