Gracie lives with her mom and dog in a cabin in the woods. She goes out to play, gets lost in the woods and scared. Then she remembers her mom told her to close her eyes and count to ten, then everything will be better again. Then a bird appeared and she followed it back to her house where her mom and dog were waiting. Mom was happy she was home and that she listened.

Remembering Mom's Words
