Growth and Mindset Challenges

This week I read the story named "Queen Bee" by the Brothers Grimm. There were three brothers and the older two were not in a very growth mindset, even though they weren't able to survive well on thier own they still thought they were better then their dwarf little brother. In the story the older two want to kill just about everything, but the younger brother knows it is wrong and saved the lives of ants, ducks and bees.
The brothers were all set up with the same challenge, but the first two failed and were turned into marble. The dwarf brother took on this challenge, but even though it was very difficult he was able to do it with the help from the animals he saved. He doubted himself at first and sat crying on a rock, but when his ant friends came to help him I think he started in the growth mindset and knew he could achieve all three tasks. He did! He even was able to set both his brothers free from being marble. Hopefully after that his brothers started looking at life the way their dwarf brother did and tried to better themselves.
