Leo and the Shadow
Leo, a 6-year-old boy, is terrified of the big shadow in his room every night. He believes it's a monster and is too scared to move. But with some wise words from his dad, Leo learns to face his fears bravely and discovers the truth behind the shadow. This heartwarming tale teaches young readers about courage and understanding that fear isn't always what it seems.
Leo was a little boy who loved his room during the day. But at night, everything changed. A big, scary shadow would appear on his wall. Leo was sure it was a monster. He was too scared to even peek out from under his covers. He wished he could find a way to make the shadow go away.
Leo tried to be brave and look at the shadow, but each time, it seemed to get bigger. He pulled the covers over his head and whispered, - Why won't you go away, monster? His heart was pounding, and he felt stuck in his own bed. He wanted to call out for help but was too afraid. The shadow just wouldn't leave.
Leo thought of different ways to make the shadow disappear. He tried closing his eyes really tight. He even tried counting to ten, hoping the monster would vanish. - Maybe if I ignore it, it will go away, he thought. But the shadow stayed. Leo felt like he was running out of ideas.
One night, Leo felt like he couldn't fight the shadow anymore. - I give up, he sighed. He buried himself under his blankets, wishing morning would come fast. But then, he heard a gentle voice at his door. It was his dad, ready to help.
Leo's dad sat next to him and said, - Fear can be tricky, Leo. It helps keep us safe, but sometimes, it's just our imagination. He handed Leo a flashlight and said, - Why don't we see what the shadow really is? Leo's heart pounded, but his dad's words gave him courage. He slowly turned on the flashlight.
With the flashlight shining, Leo saw that the 'monster' shadow was just his stuffed animals. They were stacked in a funny way, casting the strange shape. - It's just my toys! Leo laughed, feeling proud. He had faced his fear and found the truth. From then on, Leo knew he could be brave, even when things seemed scary.
