Synopsis: A gift falls to earth from the heavens. One by one different animals come by the gift and find that it is a truth but there is something missing to it. Then a human finds the gift and thinks it is wonderful. They use the gift to justify their actions such as using the land and animals, and waring with other humans. We then find out that the half truth is "You are loved". A small girl sensing there is more goes in search of the Old Turtle who shares with her the other part of the truth. The whole truth is "You are loved and so are they".
This is a wonderful lesson to show children that believing that they are special is good but can lead to problems if they don't think about how others are special.
