Golu was a small, sweet elephant who lived in the jungle. 

He loved to play with his friends, but there was one thing that scared him — water.

One sunny day, Golu and his friends went to the pond to play. Everyone ran happily toward the water, but Golu stopped and looked worried.

“Why don’t you come, Golu?” asked Chintu the monkey.

“I’m scared of the water,” Golu said softly. “There are frogs that jump and splash.”

Chintu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we will stay with you. Let’s go slowly together.”

Golu felt a little brave and stepped closer. A small frog jumped near him — Golu jumped too, but he stayed there.

“Good job, Golu!” said Chintu.

Golu smiled and slowly put his foot in the water. “I’m not afraid now,” he said happily.

From that day, Golu knew that even if something scares you, you can face it little by little.
