Using the story of King Saul and his jealousy of a little shepherd boy named David, as well as Cain and Abel, Mr. Henry addresses the topic of jealousy in a way that is easy to understand and highly entertaining. Presenting contentedness as the way to combat jealousy, the wacky inventor Mr. Henry talks about how "the grass is always greener" and how we always desire what we don't have. He views his neighbors' lawn, house, pool, and car and wishes he could have what they have. He soon finds out that his neighbors look at his life with some of the same admiration, teaching viewers how to count their blessings and make a gratitude list.
