In this world, anything can be sold—
Even happiness is no exception!
Happiness, can it actually be bought with money?
Of course! Whether it's small, large, or family-sized, we have it all!
Mr. Pigeon drives his old pickup truck, wearing a strange flying device, visiting his clients one by one. What he sells is not ordinary things like candies, encyclopedias, or all-purpose cleaners, but "happiness" in a jar.
Happiness jars come in all sizes. Some clients generously buy many, happy to share with others; some clients can only afford a small jar. But everyone is willing to spend money and trade with Mr. Pigeon, after all, who wouldn't want to embrace the temptation of happiness?
What's really inside the jar? It truly sparks curiosity.
Though the book has few words, each line contains profound life philosophy. With each turn of the page, you'll discover different facets of happiness. The author's ending is unexpected, imbued with poetry and humor. This imaginative ending makes readers smile in surprise and ponder: What is true happiness?
