      Summary: The Happy End Theorem of Erdős and Szekeres asserts that for every integer \(n\) greater than two there is an integer \(N\) such that every set of \(N\) points in general position in the plane includes the \(n\) vertices of a convex \(n\)-gon. We generalize this theorem in the framework of certain simple structures, which we call `happy end spaces'.
