Listen to the Narration:
Preparing for winter was something that Squirrel took very seriously. She had a long talk with Raccoon about the importance of building up a store of food, but he took no interest in it.
“That Raccoon won’t listen to reason,” Squirrel said to Robin, who was perched nearby. “He wastes his time all day long, rather than getting ready for winter.”
“Stop telling everyone what to do, and just show them instead,” Robin replied. “Providing an example will change more minds than sitting around and explaining things.”
