The bear knew it would be cold outside, but it was still colder and greyer than he expected. Despite wearing his favorite warm, fluffy scarf, the wind cut right into his bones. “It’s so cold!” He exclaimed. “It feels like it might snow - how unusual for this time of year!” #55

Overwhelmed by the cold and the wind, the bear decided to rest for a bit on a bench. “Whew!” He thought, “This cold is really something! And it feels like no matter which way I turn, the wind is shifting to blow right in my face!” #56

A few minutes passed, and when the bear looked up he saw an older mouse shuffling past the bench with a cane. She walked slowly, with a slight limp and a hunched back, yet to the bear’s surprise there was a slight smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye. In fact, she seemed to almost glow with happiness. “How can she be so happy,” the bear thought to himself, “with so many troubles?” #57
