Monsters Within
Winnie, a kind 6th grader, faces a challenge when Charlie, her classmate, teases her about her skin condition. As the teasing continues, Winnie becomes increasingly self-conscious. However, a visit from a kind mascot offers her a new perspective. Can Winnie overcome her self-doubt and find peace with Charlie?
Winnie loved school, but lately, a shadow followed her. Charlie, a classmate, teased her about her skin. " - Why do you look like a giraffe?" he sneered. Winnie felt her confidence wane with each comment. Her vibrant spirit dimmed, and she started believing Charlie's words. This was her monster, whispering that she wasn't good enough.
Winnie tried to ignore Charlie, but his words echoed in her mind. " - Why do you care?" her friend asked. " - It's just, it hurts," Winnie said, frowning. Every time she looked in the mirror, she saw what Charlie saw: differences. But Winnie longed for acceptance, for peace, and the teasing made her feel more alone.
At lunch, Winnie overheard Charlie making jokes about her again. " - Look, it's the spotted princess!" he laughed. She felt tears sting her eyes, and her appetite vanished. Even in art class, her safe haven, she couldn't concentrate. Her monster's voice was louder than ever. Winnie felt trapped in a world of doubt and fear.
Feeling defeated, Winnie thought about staying home from school. " - Maybe I should just give up," she sighed to her mom. But her mom reminded her of the beauty in her uniqueness. " - You're strong, Winnie, don't let anyone tell you otherwise." Still, Winnie felt lost, unsure how to quiet her monster.
Then, Gus the Eagle visited their school, sharing wisdom about kindness. " - You're beautiful just the way you are," Gus said after Winnie confided in him. Hearing those words, her monster's grip began to loosen. Gus taught her that differences make us unique. Winnie finally saw her skin as a canvas of beauty.
Inspired, Winnie decided to talk to Charlie. " - Your words hurt me," she told him bravely. Charlie, realizing his mistake, felt remorse. " - I'm sorry, Winnie, I didn't know," he said, looking down. They forgave each other, and Winnie felt her monster fade away. The power of honesty and kindness set them free.
