"It's the little things in life that matter." Children's happiness is almost entirely dependent on those small things that seem meaningless to adults. Instead of wallowing over their sorrows, they find the next best thing, and draw their excitement from it. Though adults always share this message of joy, they could actually learn a thing or two from children. Snacking is one of the most enjoyable experiences of our childhood. Nothing brings more joy than eating those sweet and sour treats. Whether a child had a bad day at school or got a stern reprimand by their parents, a mouth-watering candy never fails to cheer them up. Trying a variety of new flavors is always fun, and adds to their excitement. The book, "The Sour Sucker" is a bedtime story of a brother and sister who love fruity suckers, but refuse to try the sour one. When they run out of all fruity flavors, the girl is forced to try the sour sucker. This short story perfectly illustrates the excitement and joy of experiencing new things in childhood.
