The village by the ocean required teamwork to handle large boats and tame the ocean.
Meanwhile, lake villagers fished alone, needing no collaboration.
Over time, the ocean village built strong bonds through cooperation and teamwork.

Of course the ocean village came out on top, despite otherwise seemingly no reason for them to!
The takeaway: collective effort fosters happiness, unlike solitary pursuits.
