Explanation

Pictures help us to follow a story. They show the setting: where and when the story happens. They show the characters and how they feel, for example from their faces. They also show the order of events. At the end, we think about the message. Everybody feels afraid of something sometimes, and that is normal. When we face a fear, we can breathe slowly, ask a grown-up for help and take one small step. Being brave does not mean having no fear. It means trying with a kind friend beside you.

Worked examples

Ramy is on the beach in Alexandria. He is afraid of the deep water, and his hands are cold. His dad sits next to him and says that he can go slowly. Ramy breathes slowly and walks into the water with his dad, in the shallow part. At the end of the day he swims a little by himself, and he feels proud.

Look at the four pictures. Ramy is afraid of deep water. Listen to the story.
