In this story, Spid hopes to make lots of money having been gifted some magic seeds by his friend Marvin the mole. However, while he toils night and day to nurture the seeds, nothing goes to plan. An old man’s forecast also rings in Spid’s ears, and in the end, he learns a valuable lesson.
How does this help fuel a ‘growth mindset’?
This is a story about learning from failure; false hope, that greed doesn’t pay, and there are no shortcuts to earning money. Money is earned through diligence and hard work.
