"The Courage to Shine"

Once there was a little bird named Leo. He loved to sing, but he felt nervous about joining the school talent show.

Every day, Leo watched his friends practice. They sang confidently, and Leo felt a flutter in his chest.

One day, a wise owl said, “Leo, it’s okay to feel scared. Just take a deep breath and remember, it’s about having fun!”

With a deep breath, Leo took the stage. He sang his heart out, and his friends cheered. Leo realized that sharing his voice was what truly mattered.

After his song, a warm feeling spread through Leo. He wasn't nervous anymore, just happy.

His friends flew up to him, chirping excitedly. "You were wonderful, Leo!" they sang.

Leo realized that courage wasn't about not being scared, but about singing even when he was.

From that day on, Leo sang whenever he wanted, his voice clear and bright.

His songs filled the forest with joy, and everyone loved to listen.

Leo had found his courage, and in doing so, he helped everyone remember to let their own light shine.
