Bozaster, a sloth who is easy for us to love and admire, finds that his jungle neighbors are inclined to judge and treat him unfairly. They think Bozaster is lazy because he doesn't choose to behave as they do, but his experiences in the jungle guide his neighbors to an appreciation for tolerance, acceptance, and respect — virtues especially valuable in a time when our world is divided by prejudices and misunderstanding.
