Elephant Titus

Courage

In a distant future Johannesburg, a shy young elephant named Titus battles his self-esteem issues and embarks on a courageous adventure to find his inner strength.

In the bustling city of Johannesburg, in a distant future, lived a young elephant named Titus. Titus was shy and often felt different because of his grey skin and lack of hair. Springtime was in full bloom, but Titus couldn't enjoy it. He was worried about the upcoming school talent show. The problem was, Titus didn't believe he had any talent.

Titus decided to sign up for the talent show despite his shyness. As he stood in front of the sign-up sheet, his heart pounded. He scribbled his name and quickly walked away. His friend, Zara, a confident zebra, saw him. - You signed up! What are you going to do? Zara asked. - I don't know yet, Titus replied.

The first obstacle came when Titus tried to practice singing. His voice cracked, and he felt embarrassed. He tried dancing, but he tripped over his own feet. - This is hopeless, he thought. - Why don't you try playing an instrument? Zara suggested. - I'm not good at anything, Titus sighed.

The more Titus practiced, the more he failed. He tried painting, but the colors mixed into a mess. - Maybe I'm just not meant to be in the talent show, Titus thought. He sat under a big baobab tree, feeling defeated. - I should just give up, he mumbled. His ears drooped, and he felt like crying.

Just then, an old wise elephant named Kumi approached. - Why are you so sad, little one? Kumi asked. - I can't find my talent, Titus replied. - Courage is your talent, Kumi said. - You signed up despite your fears. Titus's eyes widened. - You think so? he asked. - I know so, Kumi nodded.

On the day of the talent show, Titus stood backstage, shaking with nerves. - Remember, courage is your talent, Kumi's words echoed in his mind. When it was his turn, Titus walked on stage and took a deep breath. He decided to tell a story about overcoming fears. The audience clapped and cheered. Titus felt proud and happy.
