He looked down at the other animals. They were taking each others food. They were poking each other. They were making fun of each other.“What is the matter with you?” Crow scolded. “Why cant you be nice?” he shouted. Crow gave a long speech. He told the animals how disgusting their behavior was. He even recited a poem:You dont know how to act.And that is a true fact! You never show you care.Its more than I can bear!None of the animals even looked at him.“I guess I have to try another way to get through to them,” he thought. “I will trye- mail.” So he typed a note to each of the animals. He commanded them to be polite. He ordered them to share. He ended with, “If you dont, you will be sorry!”Not one animal mentioned the e-mail. The animals were still unkind and selfish.“I need a more exciting way to deliver my message,” Crow decided. He made a long banner. He picked up one end in his beak. Then he flew back and forth above the park. He tried to get the animals attention. The animals continued their activities and paid no attention to the sign.Down on the ground, Rabbit was hopping around the base of a tree looking for tender green leaves to eat. He saw a pile of acorns (橡果). Rabbits are not fond of acorns, so he started to kick them out of his way. Then he thought, “Squirrels like acorns. I could tell Squirrel they are here.” He waved to Squirrel, who thought Rabbit was probably trying to play a mean trick on him. But he was curious, so he ran over to Rabbit.Squirrel was very pleased with the crunchy acorns. “Looking for food is a full time job,” said Squirrel. “It is nice to have some help. Thank you.” Rabbit felt good about helping.Squirrel dashed off toward the other side of the park. On the way, he saw Mouse. She was stretching high trying to reach some twigs to make a nest. Squirrel started to make fun of Mouse for being so little. Then he stopped. He reached up and grabbed a bunch of twigs. He gave them to Mouse.“Thank you!” said Mouse with surprise.Mouse felt very good, so she was friendly to Duck. Then Duck helped Cricket. So all the animals were being kind and helpful. Crow watched in amazement from his perch. Owl flew up to keep him company.Crow said, “You are smart, Owl. Help me understand what happened. I tried to get the animals to be kind. They paid no attention. Now, they are all being friendly to each other.”“The reason is easy,” said Owl. “Actions speak louder than words. You tried to tell them what to do, but Rabbit showed them.
