After sharing the story of a little bird who is afraid to have flying lessons in front of his friends, Mrs. Raccoon tells Antonin that being brave doesn't mean being unafraid; being brave means not letting that fear stop him. Mrs. Raccoon teaches Antonin an important strategy: Think-Tell-Do. When he thinks he is afraid, he tells himself he can do it, and then he just does it.
