Lesson 105 (dis-)

"Charlie the cheetah felt a distinct disappointment."

"He tried to distract himself by chasing a gazelle, but it didn't help."

"Charlie didn't like this feeling of sadness, he wanted to discuss it with his mother."

"His mother told him, 'Charlie, it's okay to feel disappointed, but don't let it distance you from your friends.'"

"Charlie nodded, he understood and didn't want to disrespect his mother's advice."

"From that day on, Charlie learned to discover joy in every situation, no matter how disappointing it seemed."
