Listen to the Narration:

While following a trail in the forest one day, Fox and Deer came to a fork in the path.

“The trail to the right looks easier,” said Fox. “Should we go that way?”

“No, let’s go to the left,” said Deer. “When I have two paths to choose from, I try to pick the more challenging one.”

“But won’t the tougher path make us tired?” asked Fox.

“Yes,” answered Deer, “but it will also make us better.”
