Jeanne the Kind Witch
In the heart of Paris, a young girl named Jeanne discovers her courage and magical powers when faced with mean girls at school. Can Jeanne find the strength to stand up for herself and change her world?
Jeanne was excited for lunchtime at her school in Paris. But today, something was different. Some girls were laughing at her because she was too scared to fill the water pitcher. Jeanne felt embarrassed and small. She wished she could be braver. - Why can't you do it, Jeanne? one of the girls teased.
Jeanne tried to reach the button to fill the pitcher, but it seemed so high. Her heart pounded as the girls giggled. She stretched and stretched, but it was just too far. - Just give up, Jeanne, sneered another girl. Jeanne's face turned red with frustration.
Jeanne decided to try one more time. She climbed onto a chair, wobbling as she reached out. Just as she was about to press it, she lost her balance and fell! The girls laughed even louder. - You'll never do it, Jeanne! they jeered. Jeanne felt tears fill her eyes.
Jeanne sat quietly with her head down, ready to give up. Maybe she would never be brave enough. Her hands shook as she held the empty pitcher. - I can't do it, she whispered to herself. She wished she could disappear.
Suddenly, Jeanne remembered her grandmother's words about courage. She felt a warm glow inside her. - You have magic within you, her grandmother had said. Jeanne stood up, feeling different. Could she really have magic?
Jeanne took a deep breath and faced the girls. She felt a tingle in her fingers. - Stop teasing me! she said boldly. To everyone's surprise, the girls suddenly had pig tails! Jeanne gasped but then giggled. Now they were the ones who looked silly!
