About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Bison's Good Deed Trail. When a sleepy, easygoing young bison named Bo is given a woven pouch by his grandfather and told to fill it with good deeds along the Prairie Path, he decides the whole idea sounds like far too much effort. He would much rather nap under the sunflowers. But as Bo watches his friends' pouches begin to glow while his stays flat and empty, he slowly discovers that good deeds don't have to be big to matter — they just have to be sincere. By the end, Bo learns that even the smallest act of kindness, done for the sake of Allah, is a treasure worth carrying home.
