A vida de uma cobaia
Biro Biro, an 11-year-old boy, moves to a new school in the Brazilian countryside, where he faces a crisis of confidence. With the help of his friends and a mysterious gecko named Kurumin, Biro Biro discovers hidden superpowers and learns the true meaning of courage.
Biro Biro had just moved to a new school in the heart of Brazil. He was nervous because he had no friends yet, and he felt like an outsider. On his first day, he heard a rumor about a mysterious gecko named Kurumin who could grant superpowers. Biro Biro wanted to impress his classmates, Sochy and Dadá, with newfound abilities. However, his biggest problem was his lack of confidence, which made him feel invisible.
Despite his eagerness, Biro Biro's nervousness took over when he tried to talk to Sochy and Dadá. He stumbled over his words and felt the heat rising to his cheeks. " - What if they don’t like me?" he whispered to himself, feeling defeated. He watched as the other kids laughed and played together, feeling more like an outsider than ever. The old bike he loved riding no longer seemed like an escape but a reminder of his loneliness.
Determined to find Kurumin, Biro Biro explored the school grounds, but every attempt seemed to fail. " - Maybe this gecko doesn’t even exist," Sochy said, trying to cheer him up. Dadá nodded, " - We should focus on making friends instead." Biro Biro felt torn between believing in the gecko and accepting defeat. His attempts at finding Kurumin only led to more frustration as he faced one dead end after another.
After several failed attempts, Biro Biro considered giving up on Kurumin and his dream of having superpowers. " - Maybe I’m just not meant to stand out," he sighed, sitting on a bench with his head in his hands. Sochy and Dadá sat beside him, offering silent support. The idea of staying invisible seemed less scary than constantly failing. Biro Biro felt like giving up the quest altogether.
Just as Biro Biro was about to abandon his quest, Kurumin appeared on the wall beside him. The gecko blinked and said, " - Courage isn’t about having superpowers; it’s about believing in yourself." At that moment, Biro Biro realized that he didn’t need superpowers to be confident. Encouraged by the gecko’s words, he decided to face his fears head-on. " - Let’s show them who we are," he told Sochy and Dadá with renewed determination.
With a newfound sense of courage, Biro Biro approached his classmates with confidence. " - Let’s join the game," he invited Sochy and Dadá, and they all joined the others with smiles and laughter. Biro Biro realized that true courage came from within, not from any gecko or superpower. As he pedaled home on his old bike, he felt lighter, knowing he had faced his fears. Together, they had discovered the real magic of friendship and bravery.
