Henko's Tree Climb

In the heart of the forest, there lived a little teddy bear named Henko. She wore a pretty purple bow and always wanted to help everyone. But Henko had one big problem: she couldn't climb trees. " - I want to climb like the other bears," Henko said with a sigh. She worried she couldn't help her friends who needed her in the treetops.

Henko decided to try climbing a tree right away. She grabbed the bark and tried to pull herself up. " - Oh no! It's too slippery," Henko exclaimed as she slid down. Her paws couldn't grip the tree. " - I need to find another way," she thought, feeling determined but unsure.

Henko tried climbing again on another tree with lower branches. But the branches were too far apart. " - I can't reach them," she said sadly. She tried jumping but fell back down. Then it started to rain, making the tree even slicker. " - How will I ever do this?" Henko wondered, feeling discouraged.

Henko sat down, feeling tired and a little hopeless. " - Maybe I'm just not meant to climb trees," she sighed. She thought about giving up. " - I wish I could help my friends," Henko murmured, feeling her heart sink. Her purple bow drooped as she sat in the rain, feeling defeated.

Just then, a wise old pelican with glasses landed beside Henko. " - Don't give up, little bear," he said kindly. He showed Henko how to find strong branches and balance her weight. " - You can do it with practice and courage," the pelican encouraged. Henko felt hope rising in her heart.

With the pelican's advice, Henko tried one more time. She carefully chose her steps and reached for the right branches. " - I'm doing it!" Henko shouted joyfully as she climbed higher. She reached the top and looked at the beautiful view. " - I knew you could do it," the pelican said proudly.
