One sunny afternoon, Liza noticed Rabbit looking sad. 'What's wrong, Rabbit?' she asked kindly. 'I've lost my way home,' sniffled Rabbit. Liza's heart ached at her friend's distress.

Along the way, they met Owl, who was wise and old. 'Have you seen where Rabbit lives?' Liza inquired. Owl nodded and pointed with his wing down the winding path.

Thanking Owl, the pair continued, their spirits lifted by the friendly help. As dusk painted the sky, they came across Squirrel, who was busy collecting acorns.

As they said their goodbyes, Liza turned to leave, but not before Squirrel chimed in, 'Liza, you've taught us all about empathy today.'
