stoic fable book for kids 11

Listen to the Narration:

Mouse was hiding in a log to shelter herself from a rainstorm. Soon Rabbit happened by, and he stopped to nibble on some grass in the rain.

“I don’t like storms,” Mouse said from the log. “Why can’t it be sunny and dry all the time?”

Rabbit kept nibbling on his grass. “If you want sunny days, then you’ll have to take some rainy days as well,” he said. “Just be thankful that you’re around to feel both the sun and the rain.”
