Molly was a little girl. She was three years old and very glad. She liked to play with her friends and go outside.
One day, Molly wanted to go down the slide, but she was too scared. She stepped up to the top of the slide but stopped. She was too afraid to take the first step.
Molly's mom saw her and came over. She knelt down so she was eye to eye with Molly. She said, "Molly, you can do this. I know you are scared, but if you try you can do it."
Molly looked up at her mom and nodded. She felt a little braver and stepped forward. To Molly's surprise, she found out it wasn't so scary. All her friends had already slid down and were waiting at the bottom, looking up and clapping.
Molly felt glad that she was able to accept her mom's advice and try the slide. She felt brave and happy. She ran down to her friends and they celebrated Molly's bravery.
