Kersten and Ole, who were working in a garden, received the gifts for their children and went back home. “Both masters are very kind, but that's because they are rich. They are enjoying themselves.”
“We have only four suits of clothes. Why didn't they give anything to Hans?

The thick fairy tale book had a lot to read and to think about deeply.
Kersten and Ole were always complaining because they were always busy. “Some people have both happiness and wealth at the same time, but for other people, the only thing they have is poverty. Why do we have to suffer so much because of Adam and Eve? If we were Adam and Eve, we would not behave like them.” “You would do same as they did. This book can tell you why.”
“What did the book say?” Hans read a story to his parents loudly. 'One woodcutter couple always complained that their unhappiness began because of Adam and Eve.

“What are you so happy about? It's been a long time since I saw you smiling.” “Hans read a story about a man who does not know about sadness and dissatisfaction. He is too poor to have any underwear.

He realized what happened to him and ran out to the road.
“I can walk. Now I can walk!” On that day, Hans' family had a big party. The feudal lord and his wife were happy as if their own son could walk again. “You have a good mind, God bless you always.” Hans went to a school in Copenhagen because he was so smart, and he could understand so well what he read. His parents were sad that they could not live with their son, but they were very happy whenever they got a letter with happy news from him.
“What happened to Hans is proof that God does not forget poor children.” “What happened to Hans is such a miracle. Is it like one of the stories which Hans used to tell us?” Hans' parents held each other's hands and looked at each other piously.

Then, when you meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away.“
The couple appreciated the old man's kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and heard about a happy knight and his wife of one town. They went to visit the knight. ”Are you really happy like the rumor?“ Then the knight answered. ”Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and problem is that we didn't have any children.“
They had to find an absolutely happy couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were famous for their happiness in the next town. And they asked the couple if they were really happy. The couple answered. ”Yes, we are very happy. But we have too many children. A mother with a large brood never has a peaceful day. We worry too much about our children.“
They could not get a magic charm this time too, and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple in the world. One day, the prince couple met a shepherd and his wife in a big field.
The shepherd was playing a flute and driving a herd of sheep, and his wife took their two children to him. As soon as the shepherd saw his family, he ran to them directly. He kissed and embraced each of them by turns. They sat in a circle and had lunch after the wife had prepared it.
The prince couple watched for a while and approached them. ”Excuse me. You look so happy!“ The shepherd smiled and said, ”Sure, any king or queen can never be happier than we are.“
The prince couple thought that they finally found what they were looking for. ”I am sorry, but could you please cut a piece of your underwear for us?“ The prince couple asked them very politely, but the shepherd couple felt confused and said, ”Of course we would like to help you, but we don't wear any underwear.“
In the end, the couple set out on their journey again with nothing. Finally they came back to their home because they were so tired, and because they couldn't find the magic charm too. As soon as they came back to their country, they visited the old man.
The prince told their story to the old man and asked him. ”Why did you make us suffer from the long trip for a charm which doesn't even exist?“ The old man smiled and said, ”Well, do you really think your trip was a vain effort? Think about it carefully. While you were traveling around, you learned many things about how other people live, didn't you?“
The prince thought to himself for a while and said, ”Ah, now I understand. You mean that true happiness is up to yourself.“ The prince's wife smiled and nodded her head. The happy couple held their hands and looked in each other's eyes.
The old man said as he watched them. ”The true magic charm that you are searching for is in your mind. Keep it carefully from now on. Then, you'll never be unhappy with whatever comes your way."
