Success Happy

A good short story with a message of finding happiness in simplicity? Or just happiness?

I know its specific, but I have a speech to do with the theme of just being happy. We need to talk about a short story pertaining to our theme as a requirement. Again, my theme is Happiness; happiness in simplicity to be less general. I've googled, i've looked in books, and i need some assistance. Any story idea would be greatly appreciated.

2. Do you know the Laura Ingalls Wilder books? They always had so little but were so happy! Life doesn't get any simpler than how they live. You could base your story idea on these books About Frontier Life. Hope this helps! (Also if you haven't heard of these books or don't find it interesting, another option is Amish poeple.)
