Asking questions to the kids like:

  • Who is the responsible of it?

We can relate how the boy treat the tree to how humans treat the nature.

  • Is the boy happy in every part of his life?
  • Who is happier a kid or an adult?

Doing this we promote a little discussion about happiness and growth. We can direct the discussion to the conclusion that happiness only depends on what you do in your life, not your age.
