Ella Makes a New Friend
Ella, a reserved 4-year-old, visits the beach and faces the challenge of making a new friend. With courage, she overcomes her fears and learns the importance of friendship.
Ella went to the beach with her family. She loved playing in the sand but felt too shy to talk to other kids. She wanted to make a new friend, but she was scared. What if they didn't like her? This worry made her feel very sad.
Ella saw a girl building a sandcastle near her. She wanted to join but didn't know what to say. She took a deep breath and walked closer. But then she stopped. Her heart was beating fast. She felt like running away.
Ella decided to try again. She walked up to the girl and said, - Hi, can I help you? The girl looked up and smiled. But before Ella could say anything else, a big wave washed the sandcastle away. Ella felt even more scared now.
Ella felt like giving up. She sat down and watched the other kids play. - I can't do it, she thought. - Maybe making friends is too hard for me. She felt very lonely and almost started to cry.
Just then, Ella’s mom came over. - Why don’t you try again? her mom asked gently. Ella nodded. She took a deep breath and walked back to the girl. - I’m Ella. Can we build a new sandcastle together? The girl smiled brightly. - Yes, let’s do it!
Ella and her new friend built the biggest sandcastle ever. They added towers, a moat, and even a tiny flag. - This is so much fun! Ella said, laughing. - I’m glad we met, the girl replied. Ella felt proud. She had found the courage to make a new friend.
