Once upon a time, a little girl named Lily went for a walk in the park. She found a stick on the ground and picked it up. She liked the way it felt in her hand, so she decided to keep it. As she walked further, she saw a big dog. The dog barked at her and she felt uncomfortable. She tried to run away, but the dog chased after her. Lily remembered the stick she had found and held it up to the dog. The dog stopped and looked at the stick. Lily was scared, but she tried to be brave. The dog eventually walked away and Lily felt relieved. She realized that sometimes trying to be brave can help in scary situations. She continued her walk with her stick by her side, feeling proud of herself for being brave.
