The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum: joyous excitement. The brook was so happy at being free once again
that it gurgled more boisterously than ever and dashed so recklessly

grass thrust its sharp little blades upward through the mat of dead
stalks where it had hidden from the snow, but the flowers were yet too
timid to show themselves, although the Ryls were busy feeding their
roots. The sun was in remarkably good humor, and sent his rays
dancing merrily throughout the Valley.
Claus was eating his dinner one day when he heard a timid knock
on his door.
"Come in!" he called.
