Listen to the Narration:
While digging one day, Groundhog hurt his paw on a sharp stone. Robin was flying by and saw Groundhog limping, so he flew down to ask what had happened.
“Does it hurt very much?” Robin asked after Groundhog told him about the sharp stone.
“Yes, but challenges like this have good in them, too,” Groundhog said. “I’ve been given something difficult to endure, and it might help me get ready for tougher things.”
