Once there was a little girl called Lucy. She was a very shy 3 year old. She loved to explore new things around her. One day she discovered a strange machine in her back garden. It was very tall with lots of buttons. She was very curious about it and wanted to find out what it did.
Lucy was a little timid about trying it. She was so shy that she stayed away for a few days. But then one morning, she decided to give it a try. She tentatively pressed a red button, and suddenly the machine started to spring to life. All sorts of things began to fly out, making Lucy scream in surprise!
But when the machine had finished its work, there were bright colourful balloons hovering above her! Lucy slowly gained her courage and bounced up and down, running round and round in circles, having the time of her life!
All the while, Lucy made sure she kept an eye on the machine. She was still a bit scared of it, but secretly she was so proud of herself for being brave enough to press the red button. She knew that if it wasn't for her courage, she wouldn't have had this amazing experience!
