summary

Crying a little is of no use. You must cry till your pillow gets drenched with your tears. Only then you can be happy and jump in the shower. Only then you can laugh heartily. People may wonder at your activity. But don’t mind. You just tell them that the happiness was lying in the last tear. In other words, the last drop of tear carried happiness.
