Happiness Meter

Dani was very upset with Santa Claus. He was so good, but extremely annoyed to see that almost every year many children, clearly more ill, were more toys for Christmas. And there were so many complaints, one night Santa Claus himself came up with the sled in his room, and brought with him to the North Pole.

- I want to show the utmost secrecy, "she said Papa Noel. If you come I will show you how we decide how many toys each child receives at Christmas.

When they arrived, Santa Claus showed some rare artifacts, as he explained:

"This was our first meter of toys. It was a balance, and toys were given away by weight. We stopped using it when a child received so many balloons that exploded collapsed the walls of his house.

- That other shaped mold is called "igualator." Served to ensure that all children receive the same toys, but then did not grace them with other children, no one wanted ... Puff, I almost ran out of work, there was a year that barely got a few letters and we had to change in a hurry ...

And that was talking about the inventions that had been used, some really ridiculous, others a bit gullible, until finally he said:

- .. but everything was settled with this invention, and since then every year I receive many more millions than the previous card. Happiness measure is called, and serves to measure the happiness of children. When visiting a child, we put in the meter of happiness all you have, and automatically tells us the best gifts for him.

- Well, must be broken, I always play a few gifts ...- protested the child.

- Absolutely not! works perfectly. Children who like you have many friends, some fathers and brothers who love them very much, are generous and do not seek happiness in things they have thousands of points on the gauge of happiness, and give them lots of toys just might bajárselos. However, children who are more isolated, or whose parents make them less attention, or have no brothers or friends, have so few points that no matter how many gifts we add to the happiness measure: never spend half ... that is the great secret of the meter: get more people have less real.

As there seemed to end to believe, that accompanied Dani Christmas in his sleigh Santa Claus bringing happiness meter, checking himself how those who received more gifts were the least happy of all. And could not help but mourn when they saw a child very rich but very sad that after opening one hundred gifts, spent the night alone in his room ...

And he felt so sorry for these children, which never came to envy their gifts and things, and tried every day to make them reach those children a small part of his great happiness.
