Iroquois: The Girl Who Was Not Satisfied With Simple Things

     
   Can you discriminate good apples from bad ones by their appearances?  For me, it is difficult.  Appearances can often be deceptive.  Sometimes, judging by appearance can be misleading.  The girl in the story "The Girl Who Was Not Satisfied With Simple Things" is a sample for us.  She is always very critical to the appearances of the men who want to take her as wife.  Later on, she married a handsome warrior, who turns out to be a horned serpent.  So, don't always go by appearances.  
    However, the girl is the lucky one.  She is able to get rid of the serpent.  Then, she learns how to be satisfied with simple things.
    Therefore, we also can use this story to advice our students to be satisfied with simple things and be mindful of the little things in life.  They should always appreciate.  Appreciation is one of the best ways to strengthen our relationships.  If we not appreciate, our family, our friends, our children, or ourselves, that relationships will start to die.  They respond immediately when we give them appreciation.
      Remember, we should appreciate for all we have in life.
