Yes, cried Courage,
gpt
I love you in this fair valley, and that is why I give you smiles; but if you must go out into the world, you must go alone. There stands one who has never yet spoken with me, and he looks as if he too needed the gift of smiling.
human
You can't give it to him, said Courage.
gpt
Do not try. You will only hurt yourself with his scythe.
human
Shall I teach you how to smile, you serious youth? You seem to need it.
gpt

human

human

gpt
Then I will throw it from me.
