This is Ria. Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People.

Whoa, hold on. My guess is halfway out the door. Come on. Come on. Seriously?

Now you're leaving? After I've started recording? What about a sticker?

Okay, okay. Here's a sticker. Sorry guys. Let me explain.

My guess today, if she sticks around, is a cat named Daria.

And just a paint-a-mental picture for you. She has gray fur. She's kind of poofy.

She has bright green eyes and she's, well, she's grumpy looking.

Well, you are Daria. You're scowling at me right now.

Daria is one of my cat's best friends, but they don't see each other that much,

because Daria doesn't really like to try new things.

She likes to stick to her routines. That's why it was so hard to get her to agree to come today.

And now she's here and she's trying to leave before I've even told the story.

Look, Daria, I asked you here for a reason. I really think this story might inspire you to, you know, say yes to some things once in a while.

Daria is giving me a very skeptical look.

All right, well, just stay. Please, just stay and listen. And if you don't like the story, you never have to come back.

Okay, for now, she's staying put.

All right, guys, let's listen to our story.

Brambleton says yes.

Remember, there are no pictures.

You have to imagine the pictures in your mind.

You could imagine them however you want.

Okay, here we go.
