This is a Haitian Creole Proverb. This sweet little Haitian girl is smiling, because someone said something to “make her smile.” For just a few minutes, she could disappear from the misery of the hot sun, the lack of education, clothes, shoes, insecurity in the country and especially the lack of food. For just a few moments, someone turned her “heaviness” into joy! I wish we could all be like the common, poor Haitian people and children… Only God can cause us to laugh, when we should cry.
