The grass is always greener on the other side

Once upon a time, there lived 2 little lambs, Happy and Grumpy,  on a small patch of greenland with the other lambs. Happy and Grumpy were the best of friends since young.  Happy was cheerful but not so bright. Grumpy on the other hand was smart but came with a short temper to match.

Their lives were simple, will enough grass for sharing. But the days do get a little repetitive with the same grass to feed on. So the little lambs got bored and began to grumble and whine a little more each day. At the beginning, it seemed ok, the rest of the lambs joined in with the complaints. After all it was true they were stuck in a situation where they won't die of hunger but had nothing much to look forward to each day. 

Beyond the patch of greenland lied a slope which was filled with wild flowers and colorful plants each summer. The lambs saw the flowers bloom every spring and yearned to live among them. Since young they had heard wonderful legends of this flowerland but being creatures of habits, they are unwilling to venture out of their comfort zone to the wilderness.

One fine day, Grumpy woke up angrier than usual. She cannot pinpoint her problem but felt a huge amount of injustice for her being. In fact she felt so angry that she hated the greenland. "Why do I have to be stuck in a place so green and ugly?", she wondered. Now the other lambs may complaint often about their little greenland but they were still pretty proud of it. It may be a little boring here but not ugly! Soon Grumpy was isolated from the rest and that only increase her anger. So she decided to leave for the flowerland, a place of the unknowns and beautiful legends. Happy was frightened at first but being a ever loyal lamb, she decided to follow Grumpy least she got into trouble.

So began the adventure of these two unlikely friends. They went over and never came back. On side note, Happy woke up the next day and decided to live her own life so she got separated from Grumpy. I would say all for the better. THE END

(Writer's note: Ok fine. I wrote this story because a fellow Singaporean was complaining all day to me about how she hated living in Singapore. I would like to remind her that if she hates it so much, she can choose to migrate. But I just smiled weakly and nodded my head since we are only a day old acquaintance. But there is no end to this story. I gave up and decided to leave this day old relationship in pursuit of my own happiness.)
