1. Happiness 快樂 / 3’
What is Happiness? Kids tell you ways of getting happiness -- can be as simple as burping or hearing a weird sound.
大人說︰「人大了,好像越來越難快樂。」但何謂快樂?孩子告訴你,快樂是來自內心、是吃了好吃的食物、是和朋友玩、是做了自信的事,甚至是聽到奇怪的聲音,打嗝、放屁也會令他們很快樂。孩子就是教我們如何快樂的老師。(RTHK)

2.Family 家庭 / 3’
What makes a family? Apart from fundamental life supply, we also need time for each other, forgiveness and love. Parents provide care and support to raise kids, in return, parents learn parenting through kids.
何謂一個完整家庭?孩子說︰「除了要有基本的物質需要,還要有時間多相處、多原諒、多陪伴、多些愛。」父母教導孩子,提供一切所需,「孩子說–“Family”。」以動畫說明成人也可從孩子身上學習成長和愛。 (RTHK)

3. Love  / 2’ 58”
Love is such a huge topic, and grownups think they know it all. Yet kids came to the world loving their parents unconditionally. Because of love, we become a better person.
這個巨大而平凡的題目,大人以為他們是付出愛,但原來孩子來到世上,就已經在愛大人,因為愛,我們便能成長,成為更好的人。(RTHK)

4.Friendship 友誼 / 3’ 9”
Grownups found that they have less friends as they grow up, but kids make friends so easily. They can be good friends without knowing each others names. Friends.
大人常說︰「人大了,好朋友變得越來越少。」孩子想法簡單,可以一起快樂地玩耍的便是好朋友,甚至可以忘記對方的名字,不再保持聯絡,沒嫉妒,沒計較。朋友,本來萍水相逢,好朋友變少是不是大人有過多計算,過分自我中心呢?(RTHK)

We fight and argue with our siblings, but after the quarrel and conflict, we enjoy and treasure our siblings’ presence. Having siblings is actually a blessing.
