Mohcen's Courageous Quest

Mohcen lived in a vibrant town filled with people from all around the world. Despite his love for stories and learning, he struggled to understand English and felt left out. One day, his teacher mentioned an upcoming English storytelling competition. Mohcen was eager to participate but felt anxious about his English skills. His heart sank at the thought of not being able to express himself.

Determined to overcome his fear, Mohcen decided to practice every day. He spent hours trying to read English books, but the words seemed to dance on the page. Frustrated, he tried speaking with classmates, but they spoke too quickly for him to follow. Despite his efforts, Mohcen felt like he was getting nowhere.

One day, Mohcen met a friendly parrot named Polly who could speak many languages. Polly offered to help Mohcen with his English. Mohcen was excited but found it difficult to keep up with Polly's rapid speech. Polly suggested starting with simple words, but Mohcen wanted to learn everything at once.

- I don't know if I can do this, Mohcen sighed. Polly encouraged him to be patient and take small steps. They started with simple conversations, but Mohcen's impatience made it hard to focus. He felt like he was constantly tripping over his own tongue.

Feeling overwhelmed, Mohcen decided to take a break. He sat in his room, surrounded by English books, and wondered if he would ever improve. - Maybe I'm just not meant to learn English, Mohcen thought sadly. It seemed like every attempt ended in failure.

Just when Mohcen was about to give up, his older sister found him and offered some advice. - You can't give up now, she said. Remember why you started. Her words reminded Mohcen of his dream to tell stories to everyone. Inspired, he decided to try again.

Mohcen returned to Polly and asked for help with listening exercises. They listened to songs and watched cartoons in English, making it fun. - This is actually fun, Mohcen laughed. Slowly, Mohcen started recognizing words and phrases. He felt a spark of hope.

Despite his progress, Mohcen faced another challenge when he tried writing in English. The letters jumbled in his mind, and he made many mistakes. - It's like climbing a mountain, he groaned. But remembering his sister's words, he knew he couldn't stop now.

One evening, while practicing with Polly, Mohcen had a breakthrough. He realized that learning was like a puzzle, and he needed to fit the pieces together slowly. - I can do this, he said with newfound confidence. With Polly's help, he started using stories to learn, finding joy in every word.

Finally, the day of the storytelling competition arrived. Mohcen stood in front of the audience, feeling nervous but ready. He started telling his story, each word clear and confident. As he spoke, he saw smiles and heard applause. Mohcen had conquered his fears and found his courage.
