When I was either in kindergarten or grade one, we were out for recess and I looked up to see a hazy rainbow around the sun. I was amazed and asked an older girl (who was helping to supervise our class, I think) what caused it & she told me that it was because at that moment, everyone in the world was happy. I still think of her response whenever I see that phenomenon - what a nice answer to a little girl's question.
