Lily, Mia, and Ava play in the park. "Look, a slide!" says Lily. "I want to try!"
Mia looks at the slide. "It's so tall," she whispers. "I'm a bit scared."
Ava holds Mia's hand. "We can do it together," Ava smiles.
Lily goes first. "Whee!" she laughs. "It's fun!"
Mia takes a deep breath. "Okay, my turn," she says. Ava smiles and nods.
Mia climbs up slowly. "You can do it!" cheers Lily.
Mia sits at the top. She sees Lily and Ava waiting. "Here I go!" Mia slides down. "Whee!" she giggles. "I did it!"
Ava claps. "Good job, Mia!" she says.
Mia feels happy. "It wasn't so scary," she says. "I like the slide now."
Lily, Mia, and Ava play together. They try the slide many times. "We are brave," they say.
Mia smiles. "I can be brave," she says.
And they play all day, happy and proud.
