I'd Rather Be Me
If you were not you, who would you be? Maybe a whale in the deep blue sea? Hank the pup is happy just being himself, except for one little problem-a tiny flea buzzing in his ear, telling him that he's not good enough. What if he were a monkey? Or a bird? Or even a lion? Wouldn't that be better than just being himself?
Sometimes it is hard to avoid the pressures to change who you are just to fit in. Will the flea convince Hank to be someone he's not, or will Hank stay true to himself?
