Strengths, by Donald Clifton and Paula Nelson

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The use of this story is quite optional.   If you have alternatives, please use them.   The theme is soaring with (build on) your strengths…Create your story around this theme! Rabbits run… why teach them swimming… flying is sure to kill them!

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Imagine there is a meadow. In that �meadow there is a duck, a fish, an eagle, an owl, a squirrel, and a rabbit. They decide they want to have a school so they can be smart, just like people.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

With the help of some grown-up animals, they come up with a curriculum they �believe will make a well-rounded animal:   running swimming tree-climbing jumping flying

Running Class“I can’t

believe it. At school,

I get to do what I do

best!”

“Wait, wait! Rabbits don’t 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 ClassFlying is not my

forte….

Next morning….

The instructor said “Today we jump in the water.” “Wait, my parents didn’t

learn to swim. I don’t like to get wet! I like to drop

this course!”

“You can’t 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 getahead of you.”

I don’t like school… I just want to be free….

At school at the counselor's office…

The rabbit told the counselor that he doesn’t want to go to school anymore and the reasons behind it.

“Rabbit, I tell you you’re good at running. I don’t know why you need to work on it…”

…”what you need to work on is swimming. I’ll 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, whata great place

that would be!”
