Tom's Courageous Journey
Tom, an adventurous 8-year-old boy, musters the courage to confess his feelings to his best friend, Lily. But when fear of rejection and unexpected hurdles arise, Tom must overcome them to prove that true courage lies in being honest with oneself and others.
Tom was an 8-year-old boy who had a big secret. He had a crush on his best friend, Lily. Tom wanted to tell her, but he feared she might not feel the same way. Every day, he thought about the right moment to share his feelings. The problem was, he didn't know if he was brave enough to tell her.
Determined to tell Lily, Tom decided he would ask her to the school fair. But when he approached her, his voice caught in his throat. Tom felt his cheeks turn red as he mumbled, unable to speak. He ran away, embarrassed, thinking he might never find the courage.
Tom tried again the next day. He rehearsed what to say in front of his mirror. But when he found Lily, she was surrounded by her friends. Tom felt too shy to interrupt and missed his chance again. He started to doubt if he could ever tell her how he felt.
Feeling defeated, Tom considered giving up. He thought maybe it was best to keep his feelings to himself. - I should just forget about it, Tom sighed to his friend Max. Max shook his head and said, - You can't give up, Tom. Courage is about trying, even when it's hard.
Max's words gave Tom an idea. He realized he could write Lily a letter. That way, he wouldn't have to speak directly and risk freezing up again. Filled with new courage, Tom wrote a heartfelt letter, pouring all his feelings onto the paper. He felt a little braver with each word.
Tom handed the letter to Lily the next day, his heart pounding. - Thank you, Tom, Lily said with a smile after reading it. - I like you too! Tom couldn't believe it. By being brave, he had found the courage to be honest, and it made him feel happier than ever.
