How to make a happy picture!

Draw a line that goes up
And down, up and down.
These are the mountains.
A little arc between them
Series of lines radiating out
Makes the rising sun.
Three ‘r’s on the far end are birds flying.
Parallel lines across the sheet
Widening and falling into the lower end
Is the river.
Draw them blue.
That is the colour of river.
Sky is also blue.
Rest is all green.
A triangle with lines
This way and that way
Makes a house with a door.

There, that is a happy picture.
