Ben Wonders to Be

With obstacles in his way and moments of doubt, Ben learns from the wisdom of those around him and discovers how to balance his dreams with the wisdom he gains.
Ben loved to dream. He imagined being a firefighter, a doctor, and even a scientist. But Ben had a problem. He couldn't choose just one thing to be when he grew up. It made him feel worried and confused.
Ben decided to try being a firefighter first. He put on his red hat and ran around the backyard. But then, he didn't know how to climb the big ladder.
Next, Ben tried being a doctor. He took his toy stethoscope and checked his teddy bear's heart. But when he needed to give the bear some medicine, he didn't know how.
Ben felt sad. He couldn't be a firefighter or a doctor. He sat on the porch and sighed.
Just then, his grandma came to sit with him. " - You know, Ben, it's okay to not choose just yet," she said. " - Why not learn a little about each one?" Ben's face lit up with a new idea.
Ben began learning about all his dreams. He read books and asked questions. He even visited a fire station and a hospital. Ben realized he could be wise and enjoy his dreams.
