“Hi! Little Mouse, shall we go on the swings?” asked Little Rabbit.
“Oh, no. Swings are a bit scary,” said Little Mouse, “They go too high.”
“Hi!” said Little Dog, “Shall we play football together?”
“Oh, no. Football is a bit dangerous,” said Little Mouse, “I’m afraid the ball will hit my head.”
“Well then,” said Little Monkey, “How about we climb trees?”
“Oh, no. Climbing trees is also a bit scary,” sighed Little Mouse, “I’m afraid of falling from the tree.”
“You find many things a bit scary, don’t you, Little Mouse?” said Giraffe, “I think it’s because you don’t have a ‘Brave Stone’!”
“Look there, how fortunate! That’s the ‘Brave Stone’, right in front of us. Put it in your pocket, and you’ll become very brave,” said Giraffe seriously, “Would you like this stone, Little Mouse?”
Little Mouse nodded eagerly.
“Will it make me dare to go on the swings?” asked Little Mouse.
Giraffe nodded.
“Will it make me dare to climb trees?” asked Little Mouse.
Little Monkey and Giraffe both nodded.
“Will it make me dare to play football?”
Little Dog, Little Monkey, and Little Rabbit all nodded.
Little Mouse carefully put the white pebble into her pocket, then ran to the swings. “Look, how high I am!” she shouted happily, “Later I’ll go climb trees and play football too.”
“Hi, Little Mouse, I just finished playing football, it’s so hot,” panted Little Dog, “Shall we go swimming together?”
“With the ‘Brave Stone’ by my side, no problem!” said Little Mouse confidently, “Can I change into my swimsuit before swimming?”
Little Dog nodded.
Little Mouse put on her swimsuit, grabbed her towel, and quickly ran to the small pond. Her friends were already in the water. “Here I come!” Little Mouse shouted excitedly, bravely jumping into the small pond, splashing water everywhere.
“Hi, Little Mouse! If you didn’t have the Brave Stone now, would you still dare to do these things?” asked Giraffe. “Oh my gosh, my ‘Brave Stone’!” Little Mouse cried in horror, “It’s still in my clothes pocket. Help! Without the ‘Brave Stone’, I can’t swim.” Little Mouse struggled in the water.
Giraffe quickly pulled Little Mouse out of the water. “But, Little Mouse,” said Little Monkey, “When you jumped into the water just now, the ‘Brave Stone’ wasn’t with you!”
“Yeah, it wasn’t with you,” Little Rabbit nodded, “But you still bravely jumped into the water without any fear!”
“Ha, Little Mouse,” said Giraffe, “You’re brave even without the ‘Brave Stone’ now!”
“Yeah, amazing!” Little Rabbit, Little Monkey, and Little Dog all laughed happily.
Little Mouse also laughed joyfully. She bravely slid down from Giraffe’s neck and with a “splash,” jumped into the water.
