Hello, Squirrel. How are

you today? Are you hungry?Have some peanuts.You look so cute with youruy tail.

Im going to take you home.

You can be my pet andlive with me forever!


19/42

And just what would you do with him?

Keep him locked up in a cage?Keep him away from his family and friends?

Make him a prisoner?

Why not let him go?


20/42

We can enjoy things without having toown them. If you let him go, he can still

be your friend.


21/42

Oh, I give up. I didnt mean to besuch a horrible person. Ill neverlearn to be good.


22/42

Whenver you feel like giving up, rememberwhat the Buddha said,

Drop by drop is the water pot lled.A little at a time, wise people make

themselves good.

Come on weve still got some way to go.


23/42

This is my cake and

Im not sharing it

with anyone!


24/42

Go away!

You cant have any!

This cake is mine.

Go fnd your own!


25/42

Wouldyoulike

somethingtoeat?

Look at him over there.Hes so busy making

sure no one gets eventhe tiniest piece thathe cant enjoy the cake himself.


26/42

Weve had a wonderful time.ank you for letting us shareyour picnic. Goodbye!


27/42

Ifeelsick!


28/42

Is this the right path?Everyones going that way.


29/42

Just because everyone else is

taking that path, it doesntmean that its the right way.Dont follow the crowd. Findout for yourself. at road

leads back to where we started.is, here, is the right path.


30/42

Look at this waterfall.See how the water tumblesinto the river below.


31/42

We are like this river. Here in the beginning,the water rushes along and makes a lot ofnoise. Gradually, it begins to slow down

taking its time owing through the elds.en, much further down, the river is wideand the water moves gently along until,nally, it ows into the sea. Our lives are like

that always moving on, always changing.

33/42

Oops! You see what happenswhen you let your mindwander? You know, it helps if

we concentrate not just whenwe are walking but when we doanything.


34/42

Im not crossing that bridge.e waters such a long way down.


35/42

Dont be afraid. Its quite safe.Give me your hand. Ill help

you across. ats what friendsare for.


36/42

Look! is signpost has fallen

over. Help me put it back.

Oh, must I? Im tiredand besides, thats not my

business.

Notmineeither!


37/42

Faster,faster!

It wont take long but Icant do it on my own

its too heavy!


38/42

We may know which way to go, but other

people might not. Putting the signpostback was a small thing for us to do but it

will help those who dont know the way.


39/42

Rahula! Isnt that the King? Helooks so grand and important.

Next to him I am nobody.


40/42

This must be

the way!

I hope he knows

where hes going.


41/42

He may be a King but if we hadnt xed

the signpost, he might have lost his way. Soarent we just as important as he? We alldepend upon each other so that makes eachof us important.Come we still have far to go


42/42

We havent nished ourjourney yet. e path is long

and in some places dicult.But well make many newf i d l h h ill
