Another story about happy children, In Thailand I was building what they called a welfare school. It was a school campus for 1000 children, part of the project was to construct a dam for the water supply. The children where excited to get the job of clearing the area for the new lake. I was watching the children playing while they worked and then I realized that there play was to catch the snakes and snap them at each other. Most of the snakes in Thailand are poisonous. The children where all very happy, they had just a bed to sleep in a place to each and a school to go to. The children in the US have become to materialistic, and never seam as happy as the other children from what we call poor countries.
