Listen to the Narration:

Fox decided that visiting every part of the forest would make him wiser, so he set off to explore. After many days of traveling and discovering new places, though, he still felt the same.

Hawk, who had seen more of the world than anyone, spied Fox sulking and flew down to speak with him. 

“There will always be places you haven’t visited, no matter how much you travel,” Hawk said when she learned of Fox’s troubles. “And wisdom can be found wherever you are. You need a change of mind, rather than a change of view.”


For Parents: What Stoic Quote Does This Story Illustrate?

Are you amazed to find that even with such extensive travel, to so many varied locales, you have not managed to shake off gloom and heaviness from your mind? As if that were a new experience! You must change the mind, not the venue.

Seneca
