The Little Boy with a Big Heart

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Alex. He had a little sister named Lily and a little brother named Max. They lived with their loving mom and dad in a cozy house in a sunny neighborhood.

Alex loved his family very much, but sometimes things didn't go as planned. One day, Alex was trying to learn how to ride a bike, but he kept falling down. He felt frustrated. 'I can't do it!' he exclaimed, tears welling up in his eyes.

But Alex's dad came over and gave him a big hug. 'It's okay to make mistakes, Alex,' he said. 'The important thing is to never give up. With practice, you'll become better and stronger.'

From that day on, Alex decided to have a growth mindset. He started practicing riding his bike every day, even when it was hard. He would get back up every time he fell down, determined to succeed.

Weeks passed, and one sunny afternoon, something amazing happened. Alex pedaled, wobbled, and finally, he stayed upright! He rode his bike all the way to the end of the street and back again, a huge smile on his face.
