Once upon a time in a lush green forest, Little Bear felt scared of the dark.
He whimpered as the sun set, shadows swarming around him. 'I'm afraid,' he whispered.
Mommy Bear hugged him. 'You're brave. Let's find ways to feel safe,' she said.
They gathered fireflies, creating a soft glow around them. 'Now I feel protected,' Little Bear said.
A distant howl made Little Bear tremble. 'Is that a wolf?' he asked, eyes wide.
Mommy Bear explained, 'Sometimes noises can be scary, but we can be brave together.'
They came across a gentle stream, its rhythmic flow soothing Little Bear's nerves.
As they reached their cozy den, Little Bear yawned, 'I feel calmer now, thank you.'
The next day, Little Bear ventured outside to find berries, feeling braver than before.
He plucked ripe berries with newfound confidence, basking in the warm sunlight.
Mommy Bear smiled proudly, 'You're such a brave little bear.'
Little Bear beamed, 'I can be brave, even when things seem scary.'
