I had this conversation with Anjali yesterday.
Patti had gotten a story book on Devi's for her from India and one of the stories was about how Prahlad got tricked by Indra into giving his virtues and as a result all the good things left him - nobility, honesty etc and finally Lakshmi.
I explained the story to her and then exclaimed
Me: "I dont like this story. It is very sad"
Anjali: "I like this story"
Me: It is very sad
Anjali: Its very happy
Me: See, Prahlad is so upset
Anjali: Prahlad is very happy
Me: No Anjali, this story is not good. All the virtues have gone away
Anjali: No, this story is very good. All the virtues are over here.
At this point, patti and thattha broke out into applause and the conversation couldnt continue
