Here is the mountain guide that will help get through the stages of the mountain!

Join the mountain race for a prize!

One day, Willy the Wolf was taking a walk around the forest. He was bored so he went towards the big crowd of animals.

He saw that Mr. Cricket was throwing a mountain race and that there was going to be a prize at the end. Since Willy had nothing else to do he joined the race because he likes prizes.

Join the mountain race for a prize!

Mr. Cricket gave Willy a mountain guide and he quickly flipped through the pages.

Without even reading it, he tossed it in the river nearby because he didn't need it to win the race. He believed his speed and strength would help him win.

Hey you!

How are you speaking?

Suddenly, Willy heard somebody talking to him. It was the trees! The trees tell Willy that everything in the world is alive (Ahmad). They also say that anything in nature like trees or the river has a spirit in them so it is important to be kind to the world around him. ("Aboriginal Spirituality").

If you break the rules of the Aboriginal religion again, we will punish you (Ginibi).

Jeez! Fine I will pick it up!

They make Willy pick up the mountain guide from the river.

The trees say that he is making the river dirty and that is bad for Earth. Willy gets mad and stomps away.

I'm not listening to those trees, I hate them!

Willy did not learn his lesson and becomes angry at the trees. Further down the path, when he is out of the tree's sight, he throws the mountain guide on the floor and walks toward the starting line.

3...2...1...GO!!!!

I am fast and strong, I will win this race!

At the starting line, he sees all the other animals waiting with their mountain guides.

Mr. Cricket counts down and the race starts.

Willy's fast speed helps him pass all the other racers.

He then finds a boulder and pushes it down the mountain towards the other racers to block their path and stop them from catching up to him.

Where did you come from?

STAGE 1

Hello my name is Kenny the Karma Kangaroo, I come from a religion called Hinduism. I will give you a task to finish if you want to get past stage one.

But as he races up the mountain, he gets stopped by Kenny the Karma Kangaroo. Willy is given a task and he has to do what Kenny tells him.

Stage 1

Your job is to move the boulder that you kicked down the mountain. If you do not do it, you will get your karma and be kicked out of the race.

But I don't want to!

What is karma?

Karma is what happens to us every time we get every time we do something good or bad.("The Path of Work").

Fine, I will move it.

Kenny tells Willy what karma is and why he should move the boulder. After he is done teaching it to him, Willy asks what his reward will be for doing the task.

Kenny says that he can't wait for a reward, instead, he has to help out the others because his job as a racer is not to cheat (Jain).
