RADHA:Feeling happy is a nice way to feel isn't it?
BREAGHA:Yes it is Radha.
BEN:It sure is!
RADHA:And you both know that not everyone can feel happy, all the time? But if you're feeling very unhappy, what should you do?

RADHA:Oh how lovely!
BREAGHA:Ben worked really hard on it. Go on, you say.
BEN:Oh, OK, well, um, it started last week. I had a brilliant idea for a birthday surprise for you.
BEN:'I thought it would be a great idea to write you a special song, Radha.
BEN:'I started last week and I kept working on it every day. 'But it wasn't going very well. 'There was something missing.
BEN:'And I really wanted to get the song right. 'Breagha came over. 'She could tell I wasn鈥檛 feeling very happy and asked if she could help.
BEN:'So I played her the song. 'Breagha made me feel better by telling me that she loved it! 'And came up with a great dance to go with it. 'And then I felt very happy with it.
BEN:'I knew there had been something missing 'It was Breagha's dance to go along with my song.' And that's your surprise Radha.
RADHA:What a happy story, thank you both.
BEN:And we can't wait to show it to you.
BREAGHA:Oh and play it to you. We're going to spread our happy feelings all around the room.
BEN:Oh wait Breagha, I haven't started the song yet.

The rest of the group could then join them in doing the thing that makes them happy - e.g. cheering, laughing, jumping on the spot.
