Happy May the 4th Be With You! 

In a basket of fruit, one fruit is not accepted among the main fruit in the basket. The prickly pear didn't like the feelings or thoughts  she had  when she was in the basket and by the other fruits. 

Follow along her to see how she finally was able to fight those prickly feelings and bring in her sweet feelings. 

This story is all about the power of our thoughts and how we can find and feel the feelings we want instead of the feelings others try to place on us.
