A Wisdom Tale

A Wisdom Tale is a retelling of an ancient story with an eternal message regarding emotional intelligence. After hearing this story five years ago, I continue returning to it regularly for inspiration. I find it especially helpful recalling when things aren’t going according to plan.

Therefore, this story is intended primarily for educators themselves to reflect on and apply any insights you may gain to your life. However, the language is appropriate for upper elementary and above. The reflection questions may be adapted as needed.
