We explain that at that moment “the teacher suggested that the students take the first balloon they found and give it to the person whose name was written on it”. It only took five minutes for everyone to have their own ball in their hands. It was then that the teacher explained to all the students what lesson should be learned from this experience. “Balloons are like happiness. We will never find it, everyone is looking for theirs. But if we care about the happiness of others, we will also find ours“he explained, in all kindness, and seeking to convince the children that they had to showaltruism once adult.
