00:22Which level are you?
00:24Let's get started.
00:27In the big forest,
00:33there are many tall trees and colorful flowers.
00:41The sun is warm and bright.
00:48In this forest, there are three animals.
00:55A clever raven named Corvus.
01:03A wise turtle named Shelly.
01:11And a happy squirrel named Acorn.
01:18Corvus sits on a high branch.
01:23He looks at the other animals.
01:26He is not happy.
01:32Why does everyone look so happy?
01:36I have nothing special.
01:38It's not fair.
01:44Corvus sees Acorn collecting nuts.
01:48Acorn sings and smiles as he works.
01:53Corvus feels jealous.
02:00I want those nuts.
02:02They will make me happy.
02:09That night when the moon is bright,
02:17Corvus flies to Acorn's treehouse.
02:25He takes all of Acorn's nuts.
02:34The next morning, Acorn finds his nuts are gone.
02:44Oh no, my nuts are gone.
02:48Who took them?
02:53Acorn looks around and sees Corvus with the nuts.
02:59He walks over to talk to him.
03:07Corvus, did you take my nuts?
03:15Yes, I did. I wanted them.
03:23But why?
03:26I worked hard for those nuts.
03:33I thought they would make me happy, but I still feel bad.
03:42Shelly the wise turtle hears them talking.
03:48She walks over slowly.
03:53Corvus, you look sad.
03:57Do you want to learn about being happy?
04:05Yes, I do. Nothing makes me happy.
04:14Come with me.
04:17I will show you something important.
04:24Shelly takes Corvus on a walk in the forest.
04:33They see many animals.
04:40Look at Acorn.
04:43He works hard, but he is happy.
04:48He likes the small things in life.
04:57They see an old owl in a tree.
05:02The owl looks at the sky with big eyes.
05:10See the owl?
05:14She has a small home, but she loves looking at the stars.
05:26Then they find a hurt fox.
05:33Other animals bring him food and water.
05:41The fox is always kind and thankful.
05:47That's why everyone helps him.
05:55Corvus starts to understand.
06:03He sees that being happy is not about having things.
06:11I think I understand now, but I still feel bad about the nuts.
06:23Suddenly, Corvus steps into a hunter's trap.
06:28His wings get stuck. He can't fly away.
06:36Help! I'm stuck!
06:43Acorn hears Corvus and runs to help.
06:50Don't worry, Corvus. I'll help you.
06:59Acorn works hard to free Corvus from the trap.
07:04Finally, Corvus can fly again.
07:13Acorn, you helped me even after I took your nuts.
07:20Why?
07:25Because helping others is good.
07:29It makes me happy.
07:34Corvus feels very sorry.
07:40He flies to get the nuts and gives them back to Acorn.
07:50I'm sorry I took your nuts. Can we be friends?
07:59Of course we can. Everyone makes mistakes.
08:09From that day, Corvus starts to be happy with small things.
08:20He enjoys the warm sun and the taste of berries.
08:30He becomes good friends with Acorn and Shelly.
08:39Remember, Corvus, being happy comes from inside you, not from things you have.
08:54Thank you, Shelly. I understand now. I'm thankful for what I have.
