Because sometimes the stories that teach us great life lessons or make great impacts on our lives aren’t always the ones with happy endings. Sad endings or sad moments in those stories can count too. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but this can create opportunities for parents and teachers to explain those kind of importances in reading to kids as well.
The most recognizable version of “A King and His Hawk” is when Genghis Khan is the king.
That song at 12:12 was simply a masterpiece!

I agree, that song was the MVP of the episode. The story of the King and his hawk was also on an episode of Adventures from the book of Virtues.
This is one of the saddest episodes ever.
I Agree! I was crying too! It was the saddest episode ever! (Crying out loud)
@@JYDY-if5rf Listen for yourself.
I agree
It is, but with a major moral message. And I believe that even the sad endings or moments in those stories create a bigger, teachable impact.
@@tomrosenedits969 Nope
Leona realized that while it was sad, King and his hawk had a good lesson. As remembering it stopped her from hitting Lionel.
The king never would have lost his hawk if it hadn't been for that ruthless snake.
Good episode. But have never seen it before :)
1:51 and 11:55 Oh! The poor fish! I have no idea what book Theo was reading, but I bet it was sad.
Gregory DiBruno It was a story about an old man at at sea by the author Ernest Hemingway (as seen on front cover)
Theo won't be sad if I give him a steak, he's a good kitty!
Fish was eaten by sharks. You're welcome.
It's okay to feel sad. Watch Inside Out.
Geez; what is this, "Nation Cry A lot Day" ?
Was this episode ever banned after it was broadcasted?
No. It Aired Up Until 2005 From What I Can Recall.
Christopher Grim 3rd Channel How do you know? Do you remember seeing the episode when it rerun or is what you said from a specific source?
