Loui's Lesson
Loui, a ten-year-old boy, faces a crisis of confidence after receiving low marks in his exams. When his teacher scolds him, Loui feels disheartened and struggles to find a solution, until he learns an important lesson about honesty and finding his own path.
Loui sat at his school desk, staring at his exam paper with a sinking feeling in his stomach. His teacher, Ms. Green, approached with a stern look. Loui's heart pounded as she spoke to him about his low marks. Loui knew he had tried his best, but it wasn't enough this time. After school, Loui trudged home, feeling the weight of disappointment. - "I can't believe I did so poorly," Loui muttered to himself.
At home, Loui's mom wasn't there to greet him, as she was still at work. Loui felt more alone than ever and decided to go to the nearby park. He sat on a swing, tears in his eyes, thinking about how he had failed. - "Why can't I do anything right?" Loui whispered to the empty park. The wind rustled the leaves, as if whispering back.
Loui's mom returned home later and found the house empty. She received a call from Loui's school, informing her about his low exam scores. Worried, she set out to find him, knowing he often went to the park when he was upset. - "Where could he be?" she wondered aloud, hurrying down the street. Her heart ached for her son, hoping to find him soon.
At the park, Loui continued to sit lost in thought, replaying Ms. Green's words in his mind. He wanted to do well, but the pressure felt overwhelming. - "I just want to make everyone proud," Loui sighed, staring at the ground. As the sky turned a shade of pink, he heard footsteps approaching. It was his mom, her face full of concern.
Loui's mom sat beside him on the swing, gently placing her arm around his shoulder. - "Loui, what's bothering you?" she asked softly. Loui hesitated, then shared everything about his exam and how he felt he had let everyone down. - "I tried so hard, but nothing worked," he admitted, tears welling up again. His mom listened patiently, understanding his struggle.
After listening, Loui's mom took out an old piece of paper from her bag. - "Do you know what this is, Loui?" she asked, handing it to him. Loui looked at the worn paper, surprised to see it was her old school report card, filled with average marks. - "You weren't perfect either?" Loui asked, astonished. His mom smiled, nodding.
His mom explained how she had struggled with her studies too but found her path by focusing on what she loved. - "I wasn't always successful in school, but I found my happiness in other things," she shared. Loui listened intently, realizing his mom had faced similar challenges. - "So, it's okay not to be perfect?" Loui asked, hope in his voice.
Loui felt a new sense of understanding and relief as he nodded slowly. - "I guess I should focus on what I enjoy and understand," he pondered aloud. His mom smiled warmly, happy to see him thinking positively. - "Exactly, and always be honest with yourself," she encouraged. Loui felt the weight lifting from his shoulders as they headed home together.
Back at home, Loui decided to take his mom's advice to heart. He picked up his favorite book about space exploration, something he truly loved. - "I think I'll focus on learning more about this," Loui said with determination. His mom nodded approvingly. Loui felt a renewed sense of purpose and was ready to face any challenge.
The next day at school, Loui felt more confident as he approached Ms. Green. - "I'm going to try my best in what I love," he told her, smiling. Ms. Green nodded, seeing the change in his attitude. Loui realized that success wasn't just about marks but about honesty and passion. He felt proud of himself for facing his fears and finding his own path.
