A happy little girl sits with her mother, but her mother is confused: why is the girl happy, even though she knows her brother did something that upset her? The girl's answer teaches an important lesson about the difference between praying for something, and taking action. Rabbi Leora Kaye retells the story, which can be found on page 322 in A Complete Treasury of Stories for Public Speakers compiled and edited by Morris Mandel.
