Her Pride
Ella loved the forest. She was often lured there by the smell of fresh pine. The sounds of the forest fascinated her, and she walked aimlessly through the forest without a care in the world. On this particular trip, Ella did not pay attention to her path. She found herself lost in a sea of green. Suddenly, she heard footsteps. This quickly got her attention. She turned to see what it was. It was a tiger. Deer have always been taught to run away from tigers. However, she was lost and helpless, and he was her only hope. She remembered what her mother has taught her about kindness going a long way in a difficult situation.
"Hi, I'm Ella," she said in a confident tone.
The tiger, Tyler looked confused. "Is she talking to me?" he said aloud. "I am the king of this forest. I'm strong. I glide when I walk. I'm the man! This deer can't be talking to me. She's weak. She's scared. She's a deer!"
"I don't want any trouble," Ella stated. "I just need to find my way home. If you help me, I will tell everyone about your heroism. You will be liked even more. Everyone will bow down to you." Tyler helped Ella, but he wasn't very humble about it. Despite his rambling, Ella continued to pile on the kindness. Eventually, she made it home safely.
