[audience cheering] The spiritual leader known as the Dalai Lama said, "Our prime purpose in this life is to help others." Helping others makes the world a better place. There is no doubt about it. And as we'll hear in today's story, we can be helpers no matter who we are or how big or small. [instrumental music plays] I'm Rebecca Sheir, and welcome to Circle Round Live at Symphony Hall in Boston, Massachusetts. Today our story is called Down the Garden Path. It's inspired by Buddhist tales from India in South Asia and Tibet in East Asia.
