A Tale of People with Plenty Once upon a time in a land of plenty, there lived a tribe of people who had grown quite large. Their lives in the land had changed quickly. Their fortune had been good indeed. Since the time of their grandparents, great progress had been made by the scientists in the land.

The Land of Plenty The scientists of the land had worked with the farmers to supply affordable food—with wonderful taste—that was available anywhere. The people did not even have to leave their very modern cars to obtain an entire cooked meal!

There was something amiss. The Land of Plenty
11
The people began to look around for a better way. Why were their lives not happy? Why were they growing large? Were they not living in the land of their ancestors’ dreams? The Land of Plenty
12
The people looked in books; they watched television. Leaders in their tribal government issued proclamations. Yet, the problem loomed large. Perhaps the answer was not in books, television, work, or creature comforts. The Land of Plenty
13
Perhaps the people could find a better way to live in the land of plenty. But the answer would have to come from within. The Land of Plenty
14
The people began to look within themselves. They found that plenty was a place to live in happiness, if they remembered what was truly important. The Land of Plenty

They remembered to give thanks for the land of plenty and the talented people that lived there. The Land of Plenty

They remembered to enjoy the land of plenty with reverence. They learned once again to enjoy moving their miraculous bodies. The Land of Plenty

The people slowly began to realize that in the modern land of plenty, they had forgotten some of the important things their ancestors had known. The Land of Plenty
18
The people remembered the importance of caring for the other people in the land. They remembered the importance of taking care of the land. And, the more people who remembered, the easier it was to live well in the land of plenty. The Land of Plenty
19
The people began to pursue the pleasures of old times, like cooking delicious foods and playing musical instruments. The Land of Plenty
20
The people remembered how to dance with joy. The Land of Plenty
21
Perhaps most importantly, the people remembered that quality matters more than quantity. And that no matter how superior they feel to the other animals in the land, they must always be wary of perils in the land of plenty. The Land of Plenty
22
For without times of trouble, the people could not fully appreciate the times of joy and peace. THE END The Land of Plenty
