This video shares three cheerful stories from around the world. First, it shows a touching moment in nature where a polar bear mother adopts a lonely cub, something experts say is extremely rare. The second story takes us to Nigeria, where dogs take part in a colourful carnival, dressed in fancy capes and crowns as they compete for playful titles. The dogs enjoy the fun, the attention, and of course, a few tasty treats! Finally, the video presents an enormous sand sculpture standing on a beach in Florida. This giant artwork, created as part of a yearly tradition, includes detailed figures such as a beautifully carved turtle. The video celebrates kindness, creativity, and the joy found in both nature and human imagination. What a wonderful way to start the year!
