Olivia Finds a Poem

Honesty Watercolor style

Olivia, a kind and creative 7-year-old, discovers a poem that seems to have been written by someone else. With a school poetry contest coming up, Olivia must decide whether to claim the poem as her own or find the real author. She faces obstacles and struggles with her decision, learning the importance of honesty along the way.

Olivia loved writing poems more than anything. One day, she found a beautiful poem on her desk at school. It wasn't hers, but it was really good. The school poetry contest was coming up, and Olivia wanted to win. If only she could find the person who wrote it. She needed to decide what to do quickly.

Olivia tried to write her own poem but got stuck. Her words didn't flow as nicely as the poem she found. She worried about the contest. - What if I can't write a good poem by then? she asked herself. Olivia felt like the poem she found was her only chance to win.

Olivia asked her best friend Mia if she knew who wrote the poem. Mia shook her head. - Maybe it was magic, Mia joked. Olivia's teacher, Mr. Lin, announced that the contest deadline was tomorrow. Olivia felt even more pressure. She was running out of time.

Olivia felt like giving up. She couldn't decide whether to use the poem she found or keep trying to write her own. - I just can't do it, she sighed to herself. She thought about not entering the contest at all. It seemed like an impossible problem to solve.

During lunch, Mr. Lin noticed Olivia was quiet and asked her why. Olivia explained her problem. - You found a poem? Mr. Lin asked, surprised. He suggested she announce it to the class, to see if anyone claimed it. Olivia realized that was a good idea.

Olivia stood up in front of the class and shared the poem. One of her classmates, Alex, raised his hand. - That's my poem! he exclaimed. Olivia felt relieved and happy. She learned that honesty was the best choice. Olivia wrote her own poem and felt proud.
