This is the story of a persistent problem and the child who isn't so sure what to make of it. The longer the problem is avoided, the bigger it seems to get. But when the child finally musters up the courage to face it, the problem turns out to be something quite different than it appeared. 

QUESTIONS: 

1. Discuss your understanding about the story. 

2. What do you do with a problem? Especially one that follows you around and doesn't seem to be going away? 

3. Do you worry about problems? Ignore it? Do you run and hide from it? Explain further.
