小孩的世界很单纯，快乐也很简单。他们可以一边在雨中跑，一边追蝴蝶。那时候，快乐不需要理由。
长大以后，我们一边工作，一边担心。担心钱不够、时间不够、自己不够好。慢慢地，我们忘了，什么才是快乐。
如果我们能像小孩一样，一边做事，一边感受生活里的小乐趣，也许，日子就不会那么累。

Translation
A child’s world is simple, and happiness is easy to find. They can run in the rain while chasing butterflies. Back then, happiness didn’t need a reason.
As we grow up, we work while worrying — worrying about money, time, and whether we’re good enough. Gradually, we forget what happiness really is.
If we could be like children again, doing things while enjoying the little joys in life, maybe our days wouldn’t feel so tiring.
