PESO Bulacan Let the Rabbits Run from Soaring with your Strengths,
by Donald Clifton and Paula Nelson
Running Class I cant believe it. At school, I get to do what I
do best!
Wait, wait! Rabbits dont like to swim. Swimming Class The
instructor said Well, you may not like it now but five years from
now it was a good thing for you.
Tree Climbing Class A tree trunk was set at a 30-degree angle
so all the animals had a chance to succeed. The rabbit tried so
hard that he hurt his leg.
Remedial Flying Class Flying is not my forte.
Next morning. The instructor said Today we jump in the water.
Wait, my parents didnt learn to swim. I dont like to get wet! I
like to drop this course! You cant drop it for the drop period is
over!
Either you jump or you flunk The rabbit jumped in. He went down
twice and bubbles came up. The instructor saw he was drowning and
pull him out. All the animals were laughing. The rabbit was more
humiliated that he had ever been in his life.
At home His parents said You have to get a diploma or other
rabbits are going to get ahead of you. I dont like school I just
want to be free.
At school at the counselor's office The rabbit told the
counselor that he doesnt want to go to school anymore and the
reasons behind it. Rabbit, I tell you youre good at running. I dont
know why you need to work on it
what you need to work on is swimming. Ill arrange it so you can
have two periods of swimming When the rabbit heard that, he just
threw up!
The rabbit was inspired When I graduated.. I will start a
business where rabbits would do nothing but run, the squirrels
could just climb trees, and the fish could swim. Oh, what a great
place that would be!
