Fox decided that visiting every part of the forest would make him wiser, so he set off to explore. After many days of traveling and discovering new places, though, he still felt the same.

Hawk, who had already seen much of the world herself, spied Fox sulking and flew down to speak with him.

“There will always be places you haven’t visited, no matter how much you travel,” Hawk said when she learned of Fox’s troubles. “And wisdom can be found wherever you are. You need a change of mind, rather than a change of view.”
