Coyote is in the forest and loses his needle. Owl comes and asks coyote \u2018what\u2019s wrong\u2019? Coyote tells Owl \u2018I\u2019m looking for my needle.\u2019 Owl says to Coyote \u2018I\u2019ll help you find your needle\u2019 and then soars up into the sky and circles the area looking for the needle. He comes back down and tells Coyote \u2018I didn\u2019t find it, so it must not be here because if it were I would have seen it.\u2019 Coyote was sad and tells Owl \u2018I really need my needle\u2026\u2019 Owl sees the stress in Coyote\u2019s face and asks him \u2018where did you lose the needle?\u2019 Coyote points to a completely different area and says \u2018I lost it over there behind the bushes.\u2019 Owl, looking perplexed asks Coyote \u2018If you lost it way over there, why are you looking here?\u2019 Coyote responds \u2018because there\u2019s light over here.\u2019 The point of this story is that we must not do something because it\u2019s easier or not-not do something because it\u2019s harder.<\/p>\n
