Pretty Swiss Hamlet Full of Joy

The pretty Swiss hamlet was alive with people this morning. 
It was the first trade fair of the spring and there was a children’s parade. 
This hamlet was bursting with people dressed in native costumes. 
No one was wearing a mask, and everyone seemed to have a joyful smile. 

Is this a magical place? I wondered, sure that it must be. 
I stripped off my hated mask and began to dance to the music. 
I could not stop laughing when a man ran up to me and swung me around.
No one noticed I was insane with happiness, enjoying a marvelous balmy day.
