Aysha was a young Moorish girl with a heart full of dreams and a head full of curls. She loved to tell stories and sing, making her friends laugh with every swing.
One day, Aysha found a mirror that shimmered and glowed. 'This mirror is magic!' she excitedly crowed.
The mirror spoke softly, 'Aysha, my dear, your confidence glows far and near. Teach your courage to everyone, let their fears be undone.'
Aysha danced through the streets, waving her hands. 'Come, little ones, from near and far lands!'
'If you speak with a whisper or roar like a lion, your confidence grows, and you’ll feel like you're flyin'!'
Little Tariq shivered, too scared to speak. 'Aysha, help me, I'm feeling so weak.'
'Tariq, you're strong like the sturdy old trees, just breathe in and out, it’s really a breeze.'
Tariq took a deep breath, then let out a cheer, 'I'm brave and bold, I have nothing to fear!'
Soon all the kids were singing along, their confidence grew, it was mighty and strong.
Whenever they doubted or fear came along, they looked in the mirror and remembered the song: 'We are confident, we are bold, in our hearts, we hold pure gold.'
Aysha’s lesson spread far and wide, brightening hearts and filling them with pride.
And so Aysha’s magic, it never grew dim. With every child's laugh, it sparkled within.
