The Shelter
A powerful story about the importance of generosity, teaching us that kindness begets kindness.
A big storm is about to hit the forest!
As each of the animal families scramble to gather supplies and take shelter from the oncoming wind and show, two mysterious figures appear in the distance. Watching skeptically from their windows, unsure of the strangers’ motives, all of the families close their doors and their hearts to the strangers’ pleas to help themselves weather the storm… until Little Fox bravely steps up!
With one very simple act of kindness, Little Fox extends an olive branch that will keep the two strangers — and his own family — from being left out in the cold.
