Kid Bedtime Stories About Bravery
On the beautiful Bear Hill lived a very, very timid little bear. When the little bear was born, Papa Bear was so excited that he let out a loud fart, scaring the little bear into crying loudly.
Papa Bear said, “Ha! Let’s call you ‘Timid Bear’!” Mama Bear thought this name was fitting and cute.
Timid Bear grew up day by day, but his courage seemed to shrink with each passing day. He was afraid to climb high, afraid to stay home alone, afraid to speak loudly in the open valley… At night, Timid Bear didn’t dare go to the bathroom alone. He worried that if he lifted the toilet lid, a big monster would jump out.
“Oh dear! What should we do?”
Mama Bear looked at her baby with concern, thinking: In a while, Timid Bear will have to carry a school bag and go to school. How will he manage being so timid?
In the spring, Timid Bear’s cousin, Meimei Bear, came to visit!
“Oh wow! Bear Hill is so beautiful!” Meimei Bear said, “Timid Bear, look! The clouds resting on the tree branches look like soft cotton candy. I really want to take a bite! Can you help me pick them?”
“Glug.” Timid Bear’s throat made a sound. He stood up and stretched out his foot to reach. It was too high! He couldn’t reach it.
“Oh dear! Use the ladder to reach it!” Meimei Bear pointed to the ladder outside the wooden house. “This, uh, well…” Timid Bear was a bit scared. “Oh, hurry up, or the ‘cotton candy’ will fly away,” Meimei Bear said, about to cry.
Timid Bear didn’t want Meimei Bear to cry. So, he clenched his fists and leaned the ladder against the big tree. Timid Bear carefully stepped on the first rung—”Creak!” The ladder made a strange noise, scaring Timid Bear into jumping off.
“Oh dear! Let me do it!” Meimei Bear said, about to climb the ladder. Timid Bear hurriedly stopped her. If Meimei Bear fell off the ladder, it would hurt a lot. This kind of thing should be done by a boy.
With this thought, Timid Bear bravely climbed up. But the higher he climbed, the higher the cotton candy-like clouds seemed to rise, as if teasing him. Just as Timid Bear was about to climb down the ladder, he glanced into the distance—Wow! Bear Hill is so beautiful! The green hill was covered with wildflowers—red, yellow, purple, pink, white…
Timid Bear looked at the tree—
Wow! It was full of big red fruits. He picked one and took a bite. It was so sweet. Timid Bear picked one after another, throwing the fruits to the ground. “Wow! Brother, you’re amazing!” Meimei Bear said while picking up the fruits.
Timid Bear and Meimei Bear lay on the soft grass, munching on the fruits. Soon, they had eaten all the red fruits. “Oh! I’m full!” Meimei Bear burped. “Yes, it was really delicious!” Timid Bear said, patting his round belly.
Papa Bear and Mama Bear were pleasantly surprised to find that after eating the red fruits, Timid Bear seemed to have become braver. He could stay home alone; at night, he dared to go to the bathroom alone.
Most importantly, when the day to start school came, Timid Bear put on his backpack, said goodbye to Papa Bear and Mama Bear, and walked bravely towards the school.
Courage is an essential part of a well-rounded personality. Some people seem naturally brave, while others are naturally timid. However, courage can be cultivated, as seen in the story of Timid Bear, who became braver little by little. If parents feel their child is not brave enough, they should let them experience things and gradually overcome their inner fears.
