In a beautiful green forest, a small bear named "Nu'man" lived. He was kind and loving, but he was afraid of everything! He feared the dark, loud noises, and even small butterflies!

One day, while playing with his friends, Rabbit and Squirrel, they heard a strange roar from deep within the forest. Everyone ran away, except Nu'man... he froze in fear!

After the noise calmed down, Nu’man found himself alone in an unfamiliar place. The sun was setting, darkness was creeping in. He hugged his knees and started to cry: "I'm scared... I want my mom!"

Suddenly, he heard a gentle whisper... A small turtle named "Hakeema" slowly approached him. She smiled and said, "Fear is natural, dear one, but bravery is overcoming it!"

"Do you know the secret of the brave?" Hakeema asked, "They breathe like this: inhale... exhale... and say: I can!" Nu'man repeated the words with breathing.

Following the colorful stones Hakeema placed, Nu'man found his way back to the honey tree. His friends were amazed, "How did you find the way?!"

"I was scared... but I tried!" Nu'man said proudly. From that day on, whenever he felt fear, he would breathe and say, "I can!" He became the bravest bear in the forest!

Fear is natural, but don't let it stop you. Breathe deeply, say "I will try!" Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the effort despite it!
