An old chameleon looks up at a bush.
He decides to climb it.
As he climbs the bush he meets a caterpillar
The caterpillar is SCARED!
He is supposed to become a butterfly,
but to become a butterfly he has to go into a cocoon.
And the cocoon is dark!
It is lonely.
What if it hurts to become a butterfly?
He doesn’t want to do it!
The old chameleon says…
If you don’t you don’t go in your cocoon you’ll never become a butterfly.
Doing something scary to become something new will be challenging! And you can do it.
The old chameleon leaves and continues to climb.
And then he meets a spider.
The spider is MAD!
Every day he builds his web, and every day it gets destroyed!
Then he has to rebuild it all over again.
He doesn’t want to do it anymore!
The old chameleon says…
If you don’t build your web,
you wont catch any food or have a place to sleep.
Make building your web a normal part of your day!
And enjoy the process.
The old chameleon leaves and continues to climb.
And he meets a honey bee.
The honeybee is SAD.
Every day he collects pollen to make honey for his hive.
But a human keeps eating the honey!
And he doesn’t want to collect pollen anymore.
The old chameleon says…
If you don’t collect pollen to make honey for your hive,
your bee family won’t have any food.
Focus on feeding your bee family,
And just accept that this human eats some of it.
Then old chameleon climbs to the top the bush and he accidentally rests on a flower
He then changes Colors

Dearest Atreyu,
The Moral of this story is that life can be hard. Things happen that are out of our control.
We need to accept them and surrender to them. Finding gratitude and being brave.
Maybe… we can even “turn lemons into lemonade.” By accepting what we cannot control, we can make the process as enjoyable as possible.
