Question

Do you have to be very smart to live a happy life? The character of McDull(麦兜) tells you that this is not true. He is famous for having a birthmark on his right eye. He is not very clever, but he has a heart of gold. He is also happy, with lots of dreams. The piglet wants to visit the Maldives(马尔代夫). But his mother doesn't have enough money for a trip there. So she lies to him and takes him to a place called Hong Kong. The place has a sign that says “Go to the Maldives.” It makes McDull very happy. He thinks he is really excited in the Maldives!
