Once upon a time there was a seal who loved to play. She loved to swim and dive, and she loved kicks. Every day she would kick and jump and play in the sea. One day, while she was playing, she saw a little boy nearby. He was looking very nervous. She wanted to cheer him up, so she swam over and tapped him gently on his knee with her nose. The boy was shocked! He jumped back and screamed. The seal was scared too and quickly swam away, This made the boy sad. He had wanted to play but was too scared to try. 
Moral: Don't be too scared to try new things. Everyone gets scared sometimes, but if you don't take risks sometimes you'll miss out on great experiences. So don't be too nervous and give it a try.
