A viral video of children playing in a makeshift carousel has been making rounds of social media for some time and has won hearts online. The video shared on Twitter shows three children swinging around what looks like a merry-go-round, made of three pieces of ropes. The video struck a chord with netizens.

The video shared by IAS officer Supriya Sahu shows children running around the stump holding on to the ropes and increasing their pace until they swing a few inches off the ground.

While sharing the video, the IAS officer said that the makeshift swing embodies that the simplest of things bring the most joy and happiness. "The most simple things can. Bring the most happiness - life lesson by these kids in the video," Sahu captioned the 22-second video clip.

Shared last week, the video has garnered close to 22,000 views on Twitter with almost 3,000 likes. The users lauded the children's creativity for building such a carousel while some remembered the joy one feels from the simple pleasures of life.
