Listen to the Narration:
Turtle had just climbed out of the water onto a log when she saw Possum pacing back and forth angrily on the creek bank.
“How could you be upset on such a beautiful day?” Turtle asked.
“I wasn’t happy in the meadow, so I thought going to the creek would cheer me up,” Possum grumbled. “But it seems I can’t be content anywhere today.”
“Of course going to new locations doesn’t help you,” Turtle said. “You always bring yourself along for the trip! Just choose to notice the good things around you, and you can be happy in any place.”
