Esto and the Flying Pig
In the heart of snowy Alaska, Esther, a shy and anxious girl, lives with an unusual accessory—a porcupine that follows her everywhere. Her fear of the world stems from a traumatic experience with spicy pho, which left her tongue burned and her heart closed to new experiences. When a series of magical and heartwarming events unfold, including the sighting of a flying pig, Esther learns the true meaning of tolerance and courage. Will Esther overcome her fears, or will she remain trapped behind her mask forever?
Esther was an eight-year-old girl living in cold, snowy Alaska. She had a porcupine that followed her around, and she wore a giant mask that looked like WALL-E. One day, while eating pho, she burned her tongue, and since then, she feared everything around her. She was scared of getting hurt again, so she kept to herself. " - I wish I could feel brave again," Esther said to her porcupine, feeling trapped behind her mask.
Esther tried to play in the snow with other children, but her mask made her feel distant. The other kids laughed and played, but Esther felt left out. " - Why don't they understand?" she whispered to her porcupine, watching the others with envy. Her anxiety made it hard to join in, and her heart ached with loneliness. Esther dreamed of being part of the fun, but the fear of getting hurt held her back.
Determined to overcome her fear, Esther decided to try eating pho again. But as soon as the spicy broth touched her tongue, panic set in. " - I can't do it," she gasped, pushing the bowl away. The fear of feeling that burn again was too strong. " - Maybe I'll never be brave," she sighed, feeling defeated. Her porcupine nuzzled her leg, as if to say, " - Don't give up, Esther."
Feeling hopeless, Esther decided to give up on trying new things. She sat quietly, watching snowflakes fall outside her window. " - Maybe I'll always be afraid," she said softly, tears in her eyes. But deep down, she wished for a change, a spark of courage. Her porcupine snuggled beside her, offering silent support. Esther felt trapped, wondering if she would ever be free from her fears.
One day, an old woman from the village came to visit Esther. " - I've heard about your fears, my dear," the woman said kindly. " - Sometimes, magic is all around us, if only we dare to see it." Just then, Esther saw a flying pig soaring above the snow-covered hills. " - Maybe it's a sign," Esther whispered, her heart fluttering with hope. It was the first time she felt a glimmer of magic and courage within her.
With newfound courage, Esther decided to face her fears. She removed her mask and stepped outside into the snow, where the children welcomed her with open arms. " - You're one of us now," they cheered, making Esther smile. She finally felt free and accepted, her heart brimming with joy. That night, Esther enjoyed a bowl of pho, surrounded by friends and her loyal porcupine. The world felt safe and beautiful once more.
