Courage

Stories of Courage

I’d like to tell you a story about courage. The story starts when I was gonna move out. Let’s start from the way beginning til here. I was born, I liked my old home. I loved it really so much until mom told me about this new place, South Korea! I said, “Yeah!” Mostly I was scared, but I got courage.

After we went to South Korea, we went to a place called Sky Castle. It was really fun and stuff, we have pictures of it. Then we moved out AGAIN to a place called “Madison Square.” Madison Square was also fun, it had a fruit man! Then we had to move again to this place called “Starhills.” Starhills was great too, until we had to move out AGAIN to this place. It’s called… I don’t know what it’s called.

Anyways, I had courage for all of these places we moved to. Everything I did, I got courage! After we moved out I was scared of this, I’ve always been scared of the dark. Then, I got courage not to be scared. So I wasn’t scared of the dark anymore.

Here’s a story I’m gonna tell you. A long time ago, there was a dog and a cat. They didn’t get along together. They ran around into the woods. Then they got lost! They couldn’t find theirselves, they missed each other. Then they got courage to look for each other, so they looked for each other. They ran around, they got chased by a bear but were still so brave! Then they finally found each other. Then they weren’t scared of each other anymore because of the courage!

I have another story for you I made, called “How the Cars got courage”. These cars, they always had to race. They always had to do everything. They were scared of losing and never got courage, never even had courage and wasn’t born with courage.

But one day that changed, because these cars were racing once a long time ago, but not for long. The story starts right here.

“So what do you think we’re going to do in this race?” Car 1 said.

“Have courage!” Car 2 said.

“No you don’t.” Car 3 said.

“I have courage!” Car 4 said.

“No you don’t” Car 3 said.

“Stop fighting everybody!” Car 1 said, “We’re about to start the race in 3, 2, 1!” Car 1 started off last, but he’s the only one who had courage. He was the top winner, he was a good courage person. He helps people have courage.

Like in the last race when Car 2 said, “I’m so scared!” Car 1 said, “Don’t worry, all you need is a bit of courage! Let me sprinkle that on you, you have to be brave for it!” So Car 1 helped other people, he had the courage to. He does have the courage and the urge to do anything. He even let Car 2 win the race! He was an indestructible Car that was so brave.

I have courage now and I hope you liked my stories.
