I would choose to have a happy child
hood, which usually has many more
fun things to do than in old age.

I would choose a happy old age, as
people should hope for a better future
rather than looking back.

Happy old age. Many elderly receive
little love and care from others. I don't
want such treatment for me

I would choose to have a happy child-
hood, because I want to taste bitter-
ness after sweetness.

I would rather have a happy childhood
as I could keep this memory much
longer than if I have a happy old age.

A happy childhood. Having a happy
childhood means that you will have a
happy life ahead.
