Once upon a time, there was a shy little otter. She was very modest, and she kept to herself every day. She would often play alone in the lake, or explore the shore. One day, while exploring the shore, she met a kind lady. The lady asked her, "Hello there little otter. Can I give you something?"
The otter was a bit shy, so she shook her head no. But the lady told her, "Don't worry, I have something for you. Come closer little one and I'll give it to you." With that, the otter hesitantly placed a paw in the lady's outstretched hand. 
The lady smiled and said, "Here, this is for you!" She held out a shiny, golden coin. "This is to show that kindness is always better than being shy." 
The otter smiled and thanked the lady, then put the coin in her pocket. From then on, she stayed modest but wasn't afraid to be brave and kind.
