In this story, two neighboring villages have been in constant conflict for years, arguing over things like rain, sunshine, birds, and bees. The animosity is so deep that they build a wall between the villages, preventing the children from becoming friends. Frustrated with the ongoing disputes, the children decide to build their own city, free from barriers and quarrels. In this new city, everyone shares the sun and rain, smiling is mandatory, and no one is allowed to sulk. Over time, even the adults, tired of fighting, visit the children’s city to laugh and find peace.
