Blue's big step
It was a beautiful morning in the magical village where Blue, the little unicorn, lived. The sun shone brightly, and the birds sang cheerful songs. Blue stood on the doorstep of the house, ready for a very special day. Today, for the first time, she would walk to school all by herself. Normally, Blue’s parents would take her to school, but now she was old enough to do it on her own.
“Remember, just go straight and pass by the playground, but stay on the path and head straight to school,” said Blue’s dad, giving her a gentle hug. “And if you’re ever unsure where you are, just stop and think carefully,” her mom added with a smile.
Blue nodded seriously. It was a bit exciting, but also very fun to have this responsibility. With her backpack firmly on her back, she began her adventure.
As Blue walked along the familiar path, she saw the playground appear in the distance. There stood the swings, where she always loved to play. They were so inviting, and the swings swayed gently in the breeze, as if they were calling Blue to take a ride. It was tempting. Blue stood still for a moment and thought: Maybe I can swing quickly and still make it to school on time…
But then she suddenly heard her dad’s words in her head: “Just keep walking.” Blue hesitated, looking at the swings and then back at the road to school. What should she do?
After thinking for a moment, Blue decided not to go to the playground. “If I keep walking, I’ll be on time for school,” she whispered to herself. It was hard to resist the swings, but Blue felt proud that she made the right choice.
She continued down the road, feeling the sun warm her blue coat. It was wonderful to be outside, all alone, as if the world belonged to her for a moment. But after a while, something strange happened. Blue saw a street that looked familiar, but also a little different. The trees here were very tall and dark, and the air suddenly felt a bit cooler. It seemed like she had wandered onto the wrong street.
Blue’s heart started beating faster. Where was she? This didn’t seem like the right way to school! She stopped for a moment, took a deep breath, and remembered what her mom had said: “If you’re not sure where you are, stop and think carefully.”
So that’s what Blue did. She looked around and tried to remember what the path to school looked like. The street she had almost turned onto wasn’t the right one. It felt different, not like the path she had taken before. So Blue stood still for a moment and looked carefully around her. Then she saw it! The way to school was just a bit further down, right next to the big red house. She needed to walk back a little and then take the right direction.
“That was a little scary,” Blue thought. “But I’m glad I paid attention!” Feeling relieved, she continued walking. Soon, Blue heard the familiar sounds of school and saw the other unicorns and magical creatures already playing on the playground. She felt a warm wave of pride. She hadn’t gotten lost and had found her way all by herself.
When Blue arrived at school, she still felt full of emotions from the morning’s adventure. It had been pretty exciting to almost get lost, but she had thought carefully and found her way back.
During art class, Blue decided to draw a picture of everything that had happened that morning. With a few colored pencils, she drew herself standing in front of the swings, smiling as she chose to keep walking. Then she drew the moment when she almost turned down the wrong street and how she had stood still to think. The picture showed how Blue had found her way back and arrived safely at school.
When the school day was over, Blue happily walked home, this time with no doubts about the way. She had learned that if you stay calm and think carefully, you can always find your way, even if things get a little scary.
Once home, she saw that only her dad was there. He was sitting at the table and looked up when Blue came in.
“So, how was your first walk to school?” he asked curiously.
Blue smiled and proudly showed him her drawing. She told him about the swings, the wrong street, and how she had made the right decision by stopping and thinking.
Dad listened carefully and nodded proudly. “I’m so impressed that you thought things through so well,” he said with a smile. “And what a beautiful drawing you made. You really learned something today, didn’t you?”
Blue nodded proudly. It had been a big day, full of challenges and choices, but she had done it all on her own. And that felt amazing.
That evening, as the stars gently twinkled in the sky, Blue snuggled under her warm blanket. With a smile on her face, she thought about the adventure of that morning and then drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the adventures that the next day might bring.
