About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Gazelle's Charity Basket. When a gentle gazelle named Ghazaal finds a little woven basket at the edge of Blossom Valley, she decides to fill it with the sweetest berries and softest grasses she can find — but not for herself. As she carries her basket from friend to friend, she learns that holding tightly onto things does not make them more special, but giving them away with a full heart does. By the end, Ghazaal discovers that her basket never seems to run empty, and that the best kind of giving is the kind nobody has to ask for.
