The Brave Turtle
Cally, a kind and curious young turtle, faces unkindness from her peers at animal pre-school. Feeling hurt, she retreats into her shell, but soon discovers the courage and strength within her. With the guidance of a wise tortoise, Cally learns to embrace her uniqueness and face challenges with confidence.
Cally the turtle loved her life at animal pre-school, where she explored the playground and made friends. But one day, some animals laughed at her for being so slow. Cally felt sad and confused. She wondered if she would ever fit in with the faster animals. This was a big problem for Cally because she loved making friends.
Cally tried to join a game of tag, wanting to prove she could keep up. But the other animals ran too fast, leaving her behind. - Wait for me! Cally called. No one heard her, and she felt left out. She wondered if she should just stop trying.
Cally noticed a group of animals drawing with chalk on the ground. She asked to join, but they said they were busy. - Maybe later, they shrugged. Cally sighed and decided to try again later. She felt like she was facing a wall of obstacles.
Feeling discouraged, Cally sat on a rock by herself. She thought about giving up on making friends. - What's the point? she whispered to herself, feeling lonely. The world felt big and scary without friends.
As Cally sat there, an old tortoise approached her. - Why the long face? he asked gently. Cally explained her problem. The tortoise smiled and shared stories of his own struggles and how he found courage. He told her that being slow is a unique gift, not a flaw.
Inspired by the tortoise's words, Cally felt a spark of hope. She realized her shell was more than a home; it was her strength. - I can do this, she said to herself. She decided to try making friends again, feeling braver than before.
Cally approached the animals again, this time with a smile. - Can I try again? she asked. They nodded, and this time she showed them how to draw with her slow, steady movements. The other animals were impressed by her unique technique.
By the end of the day, Cally had new friends who appreciated her for who she was. - Thank you, Cally, for showing us your way! one friend said. Cally smiled, knowing she had found her courage and worth. She was no longer afraid of being herself.
