Once upon a time, a curious little girl named Linda went shopping with her mother and younger sister, Alice. On their way, they passed a beautiful courtyard filled with chickens pecking at the grass. Linda watched them with fascination and called out, "Ko-Ko!" The chickens turned to her, delighting the sisters and their mother. On their way back, Linda felt proud carrying the shopping receipt her mother had entrusted to her. She wanted to show the chickens that she was responsible. But suddenly, a brave chicken with a colorful comb snatched the receipt from her hand. Linda was shocked and called for Ko-Ko to return it. As the chickens pecked at the receipt, Linda watched in horror as it vanished into their beaks. Crying bitterly, she felt disappointed that none of the chickens would return her treasure. On the way home, she complained about the "mean" chickens, and her family tried to comfort her, but her sadness lingered. This unusual tale of a little girl and a brave chicken turned into a funny yet sad adventure. Linda learned that even loyal friends could bring unexpected surprises, and sometimes things don’t go as planned. Later, she smiled at the memory of the chickens, hoping their next encounter would be smoother.

One sunny day, Lina was helping her father, a kind gardener, plant seeds in their garden. She asked, "Papa, why don’t we plant anything near the dark forest?" Her father smiled. "The forest may seem scary, Lina, but fear is like darkness—it feels big, but it shrinks when you face it." Lina frowned. "But what if it doesn’t? What if something bad happens?" Her father held up a small seed. "Do you know what this is?" "A seed," Lina replied. "Yes," her father said. "It’s tiny, but with care, it grows into a strong tree. Courage is like this seed. It starts small but grows every time you face your fears." That evening, Lina thought about her father’s words. The next morning, she stood at the edge of the forest, holding her lucky stone. Her heart raced as she stepped inside. The tall trees cast long shadows, and strange sounds filled the air. But Lina remembered, "One step at a time." As she walked, she noticed wildflowers and sunlight peeking through the trees. The forest wasn’t as scary as she thought. That evening, Lina thought about her father’s words.
