Page 60 - Tree of Happiness

The story ends with the Queen coming to the realization that all of her original concerns were no longer problems. She had overcome her fears. She had gotten rid of the Wizard Statements she had believed. She had learned how to make friends. She had run off her Dragon. The Queen was in charge of her life.
Being in charge of her life is what the Elf meant when he said, “You may never need to come back again .” She need not be overly dependent on others or fearful of life difficulties. She will have the confidence to face any of the difficulties that she may have in life. With what she had learned through the accomplishment of the Tasks, she was now truly in control of her own happiness.
The Tree of Happiness is available for all of us if we recognize our “Tasks” and “Dragons,” and go about doing whatever is necessary to get our own personal “Key.”
