Midrash for Chagigah 11:5
בעי רבי שמעון קטן חיגר לדברי בית שמאי וסומא לדברי שניהם מהו
R. Shimon asked, A child that is lame, according to the words of the house of Shammai, [what would he hold then, since he can ride on his father's shoulders]? Or one that is blind, according to the words of both of them [for he can hold onto his father's hand]?
Sifrei Devarim
R. Yossi Haglili says: Three mitzvoth obtain on a festival: the festive offering (chagigah), the sacrifice of peace-offerings, viz. (27:7) "And you shall sacrifice peace-offerings and you shall eat them there"; "appearance" (re'iah), before the L-rd with a burnt-offering, viz. Shemoth 23:15); and rejoicing (simchah).
