I totally agree. Laughter was the best medicine for me when I felt tired, stressful, sick or embarrassed, etc. During the time I prepared for the entrance exam to high school, I was very stressful and tired. I spent a lot of sleepless nights studying for the exam. Sometimes, I felt exhausted and lost appetite. Luckily, my best friend who has a great sense of humour helped me out. He made me laugh happily through his funny jokes. This helped relieve my stress and I felt more relaxed as well as positive.
