It's Cool to Be Kind is the fifth released episode of The VeggieTales Show, which teaches a lesson about kindness.
Plot
Bob and Larry want to make the world a better place. They want to do big and important things that people will notice! In trying to do good and big things, they’ve ignored what are sometimes the simple and small things – like being kind to others. Pa Grape steps in and shares the story of Peter and John who stopped their big, important plans to help a lowly beggar who couldn’t walk. In the end, Bob and Larry realize they can change the world through everyday acts of kindness — starting with their own friends.
