Once upon a time there was a happy little girl. She enjoyed running and playing with her big sisters. She was fearless going down the fastest slides and swinging from the highest branches. She painted boxes in the brightest colours and dressed up like a princess. At night she looked up at the shooting stars and dreamed big dreams. She dreamed and she dreamed and she dreamed!

Suddenly she unwrapped her robe and jumped in the water with a huge splash! She was kicking and splashing and beaming! She felt stronger and bolder than ever before. She was no longer unsure of the water… it felt like fun! She kept trying and training every day until she became one of the fastest swimmers. She swam in races and even got gold medals! The crowds cheered and cheered and cheered! It was the proudest she had ever felt.

There was just one thing she would not do… she was too afraid to go in the pool! She held back when her sisters jumped and splashed in the water.
