Molly was so excited. It was her first time in a swimming pool. She chewed her lip, unsure what to do. Suddenly, her mom stepped in.
"Come on, Molly!" Mom said in a gentle, encouraging voice. "It's harmless. You can do it!"
Molly stepped closer to the edge of the pool, but then she stopped. She was scared. Mom was standing beside her, waiting.
"I don't know how," said Molly, fidgeting and biting her lip.
Mom pulled out a bright, colorful swimming suit. "Do you want to wear this?" she asked.
Molly looked at it, her eyes widening. The suit was so colorful and pretty. Smiling, she put it on, and felt much braver.
Mom smiled back. She put her arm around Molly and they stepped into the pool together. Molly felt more brave, so she started to swim.
Mom clapped and cheered, encouraging Molly every step of the way. Little by little, she swam around the whole pool.
When they got out, Mom said, "Well done, Molly! You did great!"
Molly smiled. She was so happy she had taken a chance. Swimming was harmless and much more fun than she had expected.
