The Little Boat in Big Water
A small boat faces big water and discovers it is stronger than it thought.
There was a little boat sitting by the shore. It was a small, colorful boat โ red and blue with a tiny white sail.
The little boat looked out at the big water. The ocean was so wide! Waves rolled and splashed.
"It looks scary," said the little boat. "The water is so big. And I am so small."
A gentle wind blew. "Don't worry," said the wind. "I will help you."
The little boat took a deep breath. Slowly, it moved away from the shore. One little wave. Then another.
The little boat bobbed up and down. "I am doing it!" it said.
The waves were not scary anymore. They were like friends, rocking the little boat gently. Back and forth. Back and forth.
A dolphin jumped out of the water. "Hello, little boat! You are doing great!"
The little boat sailed further and further. It saw fish below and birds above. The world was beautiful!
"I was scared of big water," said the boat. "But I kept going. And now I feel strong."
The sun set with golden and pink colors. The little boat sailed home, feeling proud.
Goodnight, brave little boat. Goodnight.
