The Little Turtle's Big Journey | Short story

0
Once upon a time, there was a small turtle named Timmy. He lived in a quiet pond surrounded by tall trees and lush green grass. Every day, Timmy watched the other animals, like the rabbits, deer, and birds, moving quickly. He felt sad because he couldn’t run or fly like them. Being a turtle, Timmy moved slowly, and he often wondered if he could ever achieve anything big.


One sunny morning, Timmy heard the animals talking about a beautiful waterfall deep in the forest. It was said to be the most breathtaking place in the land, but the journey to get there was long and difficult. The rabbits laughed, saying, “Timmy will never make it. He’s too slow!”

Timmy felt a little hurt, but deep inside, he had a strong belief in himself. “I may be slow, but I never give up,” he whispered to himself.

So, Timmy decided to go on the journey. Step by step, he walked through the forest. While the rabbits and deer rushed ahead, Timmy kept moving at his own pace. There were times when he felt tired and wanted to stop, but he remembered his goal – the beautiful waterfall.

Days went by. Timmy faced challenges – rocks in his path, strong winds, and steep hills – but he kept going. He met many kind animals along the way who cheered him on, saying, “You’re doing great, Timmy! Keep moving!”

Finally, after what felt like a lifetime, Timmy reached the top of the hill. In front of him, the waterfall sparkled in the sunlight, more magnificent than he had imagined. The rabbits and other animals were there, but this time, no one laughed. They all gathered around Timmy, amazed at his determination.

“You made it, Timmy!” they cheered. “We were wrong to doubt you.”

Timmy smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter how fast you go. What matters is that you keep moving forward.”


The lesson: No matter how slow you may feel, as long as you keep going, you will reach your goals. Just like Timmy the turtle, your journey might be long, but your persistence will pay off.
