In the third story in the Francis Series, two lessons are learned: the importance of praising God for all he gives us and tolerance. We also meet another friend of Francis and Leo's - Juniper. Francis, Leo and Juniper are walking along and come across a meadow where birds (and other animals) are just sitting around, not doing anything. Francis reminds the birds that they should praise God for taking care of them. Francis finds out that his idea of praise is not the same as the birds and other animals. Find out what happens when the birds, deer, rabbit and squirrels start praising God their way. In this story, Francis learns a lesson with help from his friends Leo and Juniper.
