About this episode

Our virtue today is: Beauty on the Inside! Join Momo and Rebecca as they tell a story about a young boy who wants a dog more than anything else in the world. Instead of a dog, though, he ends up with a very... surprising present. Find out what happens in our story today! 

Discussion questions for kids:

1) What does it mean to have beauty on the inside?

2) Can you think of anyone you know who is beautiful on the inside? How do they make you feel?
