The tiger family was composed of a mom and two kids. They lived in a beautiful place in the jungle, and they ate the best food due to the mom’s effort. However, both kids didn’t value all the good things that they had had until that moment, and they did not know that the universe could teach them one of their biggest lessons.

On the other side of the jungle was the elephant family, composed of the mom and her son. The family lives in a dangerous place in the jungle, and they have several difficult moments because of the mom’s illness. For that reason, the kid ought to take care of most of the responsibilities of his family, even leaving his own needs aside.

At the school, the tiger kids used to be the best in the class, although they didn’t help their friends, and sometimes they used to make fun of the others, like in the case of the little elephant, who didn’t have a good performance on his activities because of fatigue.

One day, the tiger mom got sick and couldn’t feed their kids as she had done until that day. Surprisingly, they got upset and went to the school to take away the elephant’s food. What they didn’t know was that all the bad things they had been doing until that moment were going to change because the little elephant would teach them a lesson.

That night, when they arrived at their home, they realized that Mom wasn’t there, so they began to look for her with great concern, thinking about how bad they had been with her. They went to every place they knew without success until the next morning when they came back to their home, and their mom had been taken to a nearby healer by an elephant. In that moment, they knew that, despite their behavior, the little elephant had helped their mom, and that experience showed the true value of the family.

On the other side of the forest, a very close family of meerkats lives, among them the curious Simon, who has always supported his relatives since he was a kid. Every day, the community learns to adapt to the lack of food, and in most cases, they solve each of the difficulties together.

One rainy day, Bruno had gone to find food in the river near the forest when a big storm arrived and caused chaos and destruction everywhere. The normally calm river turned into a furious torrent and he had to face strong waves, but it was very difficult doing this by himself.

Meanwhile, Simon had been traveling far from home with his family, they noticed the destruction and hurried to find a way back home. He saw Bruno struggling against the flow of the river and immediately tried to help Bruno.

Bruno and Simon huddled inside a cave after the storm had calmed down. Bruno told stories of his friendless adventures, while Simon was talking about the helpful and challenge of living in a society.

After some hours the storm finished, they left the cave, with a new point of view of life. They returned to Simon 's home, and the meerkats gave Bruno a warm welcome. In the next few days, the new friends kept in touch, showing their different perspectives and learning from each other's experiences. Bruno became more open to asking for help when needed, while Simon practiced independence and self-reliance.

After two days, sadness started to embrace the farm. The flock of sheep just ate enough, and Bob, who used to be positive, started worrying about his animals. The reality was that Bob couldn’t leave the farm alone to try to find Marie. Facing this situation, Maggie bravely decides to get inside the forest with only one goal: to find Marie.

Once inside, Maggie didn’t know how to start the search. She had never experienced something like this before. Visibility was too low, and moonlight wasn’t enough to see through the trees. In this environment, anyone could get desperate, but instead of that, Maggie remembered her abilities to smell and hear things. While she was moving, -being careful not to get lost- she marked the road with her claws. By the time she had walked 10 kilometers, Maggie’s patience and determination were obtained by hearing water flowing. She just found a river, and Marie drank water from it.

By the time sunshine began, Maggie’s bark had woken up everyone on the farm. She came back with Marie, and everyone got excited for it.

This is Sebastian Parrado, and I am going to tell you a fable that is named…

We are all necessary

The last rays of spring sun announces that this season is coming to an end. Trees and crops whisper to each other to dig their roots deeply in the ground and look for underground water. At the same time, animals scurry, gathering the last drops of water before it evaporates. They remember all too well about previous summer relentless heat. Forest fires rage, turning the sky into sickly orange. The other seasons are not blind to these concerns. Winter mutters about shortened snowfalls, while Autumn worries about withered fruits. They whisper amongst themselves, a plot forming to limit summer’s presence.

Autumn and Winter murmured to Spring to split the year in equal periods for each season. Then, Autumn and Winter gave to Summer a pill so it will sleep until the next year. In the beginning, trees, crops, and animals were getting used to this change because water had been abundant and there had not been any fires. However, when Spring ended, vibrant colors became minimal in the environment, crops were unharvested, and animals were unprepared for Autumn and even less prepared for Winter. That year was unforgiving with them.

Spring had come back, and plants and animals were begging for Summer to return, as they thought they were not used to Summer's absence. Spring heard their pleas and stops Autumn and Winter to give another sleep pill to Summer. Summer awakens just in time to fulfill its role, and seasonal balance is coming back.

On Uncle Billy's ranch in Texas, numerous animals such as horses, donkeys, and sheep are living together. The ranch is famous for its incomparable beauty, with green fields, wildflowers, majestic mountains, and crystal-clear waterfalls. Although it is far from town, its splendor attracts the attention of everyone in the region.

One sunny morning, the ranch comes alive with several births. Colts and donkeys take their first steps, including Dakota and Blaze. As they grow, Dakota begins to feel different from the other donkeys, admiring Blaze for his majestic coat and graceful gallop.

Dakota dreams of being like Blaze, desiring for his strength and elegance. However, then, Dakota learns an important lesson about valuing her own identity and the unique qualities that make her special.

One afternoon, Dakota and Blaze were by the creek. Blaze, noticing Dakota's concern, asked her what was troubling her. Dakota confessed that she wished she were like him, fast and elegant, that she felt inferior. Blaze patiently told her a story about the importance of individual qualities.

Blaze confessed to her that he understood how she felt, because when he was a colt, he used to compare himself to other horses, wishing he had their qualities, but over time, he had learned that each one has a unique purpose and qualities, he explained that every animal on the ranch has a special purpose.

He remembered a snowstorm where Susy, a strong and wise donkey, saved the ranch because of her endurance and determination. She made it through and brought crucial supplies for everyone when no one else was able to, he told her that she had a resilience and bravery that no other animal on the ranch possessed.

As the days passed, Dakota began to get used to seeing herself and others with new eyes. One day, when Uncle Billy organized a big fair at the ranch, Dakota had the opportunity to show her own talents. During a game in which the ranch animals had to go through a maze of obstacles, Dakota demonstrated her incredible capabilities, overcoming each challenge with skill and speed.

At the end of the day, Uncle Billy affectionately told her that she was an invaluable part of the ranch. Dakota looked around and saw the smiles of his friends and family. Blaze, standing across the field, winked at her in approval. Dakota understood that being unique was her greatest strength, and that every being on the ranch had something special to offer. Since then, Dakota stopped comparing herself to others and began to value and celebrate her own qualities.

“I don’t even know,” Ham would frequently repeat to himself while thinking, “Why do we live under the ground? Why have we got comfortable having snakes, spiders, rats, and ants living next-door? Why don’t those precious golden rays from the sun ever come into our house? Why have we got used to such a dark place?” I don’t even know," our restless friend would yell at every unlucky soul out there.

Suddenly, a delightful light illuminated his head inside, which led him to come up with a wonderful idea! “I’m moving out to the neighbor’s house,” he stated. And he did!

Do you remember who his neighbors are? While Ham was packing his stuff, he thought about who should be visited first. “Snakes surely have a stunning house, made out of magnificent alleys everywhere to let them move around. But spiders must be good sleepers, lying down all day long on those beds in the air, oh, what a sweet picture! And how about ants? They are certainly insanely systematic, I mean, always cleaning things up. Mmm… I look like I could use some rest, huh? I’ll go with spiders first.”

(Draw-sequences of Ham visiting each neighbor).

After Ham visited all those particular neighbor houses, he realized that all he was looking for… was his own cave.
