Listen to the Narration:

Coyote was walking in the woods one frosty morning when the winter’s first snowflakes began to fall. Soon after, she spied a young dove sitting in a sugar maple tree.

“I don’t think I’m going to like the winter,” the dove said as he looked suspiciously at the drifting snowflakes. “The sun goes down too early, and this snow is cold.”

Coyote stopped and shook the snow from her fur. “If you were happy in the summer, then you can be happy in the winter too,” she said to the dove. “You’ll just be happy for different reasons.”
