Hey, Circle Round summer campers. It's your camp counselor, Erika Henningsen. Whenever I'm enjoying my summer, or even summer camp, I kind of hit this sweet spot when I've gotten used to the summer. I have my new routines, and I'm really relaxed. One of the great things about summer camp is the things you learn about nature, and sometimes how those learnings got started. So here's another Circle Round Summer Camp episode, The Sweet Spot.

Ever heard the saying, "Good things come to those who wait"? Well, there's another saying that goes, "Good things come to those who wait, but better things come to those who work for them." In today's story, we'll find out how hard work can bring some very sweet rewards. [Native American music] I'm Rebecca Sheir, and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time. Today our story is called The Sweet Spot. It was inspired by legends told by the Wabanaki, the people of the Dawn Land, who have lived in what is now Maine and Eastern Canada for more than 11,000 years.
