Courage

Share this:

A little girl was walking to the fountain. She saw a lady in a white sari resting by the fountain.

The little girl asked the lady, “Who are you?”

The lady replied, “Courage”.

The little girl twirled her braid and asked, “What is that? I have never heard of this name.”

Courage replied, “If you have me, you can do anything. Even the most difficult things. You can go to the jungle with your father. He wants to take you there every Sunday but you are always scared. You would enjoy and play with the rabbits and squirrels that you like so much. And nothing would happen.”

The little girl’s eyes gleamed with excitement. She cried out, “Is it that simple?”

Courage smiled and said, “Yes my little princess. You can do anything if you have me.”

The little girl hugged courage and said, “I would always keep you with me.”
