Imagine A World Where Money Buys You Happiness

Imagine a world where only one person has all the world’s wealth. This was once as it was…

Bahaba was the richest man in the world but he remained friendly, calm and smart.

Bahaba felt lonely, he had all the money in the world but his money didn’t buy him happiness. 

Bahaba lived in one of the many houses he owned. Inside the walls were a sunny yellow with a lush green and sky blue interior. 

One sunny morning, Bahaba opened his curtains to let the sunshine in. He was shocked to see a massive que had formed outside his front door. I wonder what these people want, maybe they are here to say hello. Bahaba opened the front door and said “Hi”. 
Everyone crowded around him. Feeling very claustrophobic Bahaba shouted “Could everyone please stop crowding around me?”
“But, we want some money,” the people aggressively demanded. 


Bahaba had no friends because everyone wanted his money. 

Bahaba went to stay at his Whitehouse and demanded that everyone stop following him. 

 It didn’t work… 

One rainy morning, Bahaba opened his door to head out to the shops. To his astonishment, there was another massive cue. “PLEASE, give us some money? We can’t pay our bills” the people begged.

Bahaba is very annoyed by everyone because they all wanted his money. So, he bought a private island. The island was surrounded by electric fences and dangerous, aggressive, fierce sharks!

But…Bahaba still felt lonely. There is no cue outside his door and no one to say hi too.

Bahaba felt bad for everyone so he accessed everyone’s bank account and gave everyone 1 billion dollars so they could live a happy life.

Money does buy you happiness sometimes.
