Vika in the Back
Vika, a young ballet dancer, always finds herself dancing at the back of the room. Despite her love for ballet, her teacher thinks she's not good enough for the front. Vika must learn to persevere, finding wisdom and joy in dancing, no matter her position.
Vika loved ballet more than anything. Every day, she twirled and leapt with dreams of being a star. But at the ballet school in Russia, Vika was always placed at the back. Her teacher, Madame Olga, believed Vika wasn't ready for the front row. Vika felt sad and wondered why she couldn't shine like the others.
One day, Vika tried her hardest to impress Madame Olga. She danced and spun like never before. But when the music stopped, Madame Olga shook her head. - You must work harder, Vika, she said sternly. Vika's heart sank as she returned to the back.
The next week, Vika practiced even more. She stayed late after class, perfecting her moves. But during the performance, she stumbled and fell. - Oh no, whispered Vika as she picked herself up. The other dancers giggled, and she felt more invisible than ever.
Vika thought about giving up ballet altogether. - Maybe I'm just not good enough, she sighed to herself. The thought of never dancing again made her heart ache. But she couldn't imagine a life without ballet. She sat quietly, feeling lost and unsure.
One day, Vika met an old ballet dancer named Sergei. - You dance because you love it, not for the front row, he told her gently. Vika listened, her eyes wide with understanding. She realized she didn't need to be at the front to enjoy dancing. Inspired, she decided to dance with all her heart, wherever she stood.
At the next recital, Vika danced with joy and confidence. She twirled and leapt, feeling the music in her soul. Madame Olga watched her with surprise and admiration. - Well done, Vika! Maybe the front is not far away, she applauded. Vika smiled, knowing she had found wisdom in her journey.
