nce upon a time there was a little

Ogirl named Belle. She loved play-
ing in her garden. One day she saw a
beautiful butterfly skipping from one
flower to another in her garden. Belle
kept following the butterfly. After
sometime the butterfly got trapped
in a spider web. Belle was afraid of
spiders but she wanted to help the
butterfly. Belle found a stick and

took it. She broke the web and soon
the butterfly flew away. She was very
happy to set the butterfly free.

Moral of the story:
Overcome your fears with courage.
