The story

  1. A low-hanging wasps' nest terrifies everyone using the path.
  2. Sammy Jay suggests knocking it down. Loudly.
  3. Jimmy points out the wasps live there too.
  4. He clears a new path around the nest instead, all afternoon, alone.
  5. By evening everyone is using Jimmy's new path.
  6. Nobody thanks him. He doesn't mind.

What We Learned

The kind answer often takes longer than the loud one — and it's usually the one that works.
