Little Fish plans to participate in the fiddle and jigging contest in the annual Fur Trade Olympics; in fact, he plans to win it! Unfortunately, a week before the event, while playing soccer, he breaks his leg, and it seems to be the end of his Fur Trade Olympics dream this year. However, with the help of an inspirational story about a brave rabbit, Little Fish realizes that he can still compete, despite his broken leg. Even though he doesn’t win, the story of Little Fish and his determination to carry on and not give up shows bravery and the importance of doing one’s best.
