Highlights of other stories in this issue include: a spring-time guide to flowers, a young man who learns that patience and hard work are the way to achieve his dream, two boys who go camping and learn that successful camping isn't all fun and games, and a caring big sister's efforts to make her sister shine are outshone by her little sister's accomplishments.
