Notes by Megha Munipalla
Value: Courage
Story: Adventure time
Finn (the human) and Jake (the dog) are chasing a dragon, and the dragon is running into the ocean. Jake chases it through the ocean but, Fin is scared of the ocean and doesn’t follow the dragon into the water. Jake tries to help Finn overcome his fear of water by taking him in a submarine into the depths of the ocean. But, Finn is so scared that he closes his eyes and when he opens his eyes, he goes totally crazy and starts bouncing off the walls, causing the submarine to crash into an underwater cliff. The submarine breaks and Finn, who is wearing a life vest, floats to safety. But, Jake becomes unconscious at the bottom of the ocean. Although Finn is scared of the water, he musters up the courage to go deep down and saves Jake.
Moral of the story: Face your fear and the fear will flee
