Origin Story
从前，有个叫小明的孩子，他非常胆小怕事。有一天，村里要举办一场盛大的庙会，大家都兴奋地准备着。可小明却躲在家里，不敢出门。他害怕人群，害怕热闹，害怕遇到陌生人。他妈妈劝他说：“孩子，别怕，庙会上有很多好玩的呢！”小明摇摇头，紧紧地抱着妈妈，不敢松手。庙会结束后，小明听邻居们讲庙会上的热闹景象，心里既羡慕又后悔，他后悔自己胆小怕事错过了这么好的机会。从那天开始，小明决定要克服自己的胆小，勇敢地面对生活中的挑战。他开始尝试着独自一人去上学，去商店买东西，渐渐地，他变得勇敢起来了。
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tom who was very timid and afraid of things. One day, his school was organizing a field trip to a nearby zoo. All his classmates were excited, but Tom was scared. He was afraid of the animals, the crowds, and the unknown. His parents tried to encourage him, but Tom just wouldn't budge. He stayed home while his classmates had a wonderful time at the zoo. Tom was sad he missed out on so much fun. But that day changed him. He decided that he would no longer let fear control his life. He started by doing small things to challenge his fear. He slowly built up his courage and eventually became a much more confident person.
