A thought turns into a feeling. A feeling turns into a mood. A mood turns into a life - of optimism and feeling good. Such is the destiny of a teacup! This is the story of a teacup that is so tall that the elves she lives with don't know what to do with her. So she sits on a shelf, gathering dust, her saucer full of mold, looking down at everyone having a good time. One day, before a party, she finally has enough. She bursts into tears. That doesn't help her much though... on the contrary: a grumpy teapot, her neighbor on the dreaded shelf, starts scolding her. But that day, something is different: the teacup takes a good look around and she just decides to... change her mood! This ageless story will bring home the message that optimism and feeling good do not depend on circumstances - but they can create good circumstances! A wonderful life lesson for all ages.
