Maybe Danish people are happy because they love to cycle?

Famously the Danes cycle a lot. Which is not only good exercise but also eco friendly. The image shows a dane zooming along on their bike causing their mouth to be stretched into a massive smile from the wind whilst making their eyes stream with water. These tears are watering the trees causing them to grow. 



The national bird of Denmark, the mute swan, flys along side the cyclist, sweating from their wings, showing how fast they must all be going.
