Once upon a time, there was a lamb. She never went out of her house because she was always scared that her wool would be sheared. Her parents were forever cheering her up, saying that she should not be so scared. One day when her parents insisted, she went out for some time to the park. She enjoyed the fresh air and felt very good. Suddenly, she heard a feeble voice, “Help!” This time she wasn’t scared, but started looking for the source of that voice. She saw a rabbit crouching under a bush. He was injured and seemed scared. He told the lamb how he fell into a hunter’s trap and then managed to escape from there. The kind lamb took the rabbit to her home. They became very good friends, thereafter. After being able to help someone else who was scared, she herself was not scared any more.
