In a colorful meadow, there lived a butterfly named Thomas. Unlike the other butterflies, Thomas couldn’t fly. He watched in sadness as they fluttered freely, while his wings remained grounded. No matter how much he flapped, nothing happened. “I’ll never fly,” he thought, feeling lonely and defeated. One day, a zebra named Hank noticed Thomas sitting alone. With his bold black-and-white stripes, Hank stood out against the bright meadow. He approached Thomas with a warm smile. “Why aren’t you flying with the others?” Hank asked. Thomas sighed. “I don’t know how. I’ve tried, but my wings won’t work.” Hank chuckled softly. “Flying isn’t about waiting for something to happen. It’s already inside you—you just need to find the courage to lift your wings.” Thomas looked at his wings, doubting himself. “But what if I fail again?” Hank smiled kindly. “How about we try together? Climb onto my nose, and I’ll help you feel the wind. I’ll run and jump, and you’ll see what it’s like to catch the breeze.” Nervous but curious, Thomas crawled onto Hank’s nose. Hank began to run through the meadow, the wind rushing past them. As Hank jumped into the air, Thomas felt the wind lift his wings. For the first time, he believed he could fly. With a leap of faith, Thomas spread his wings—and to his surprise, they lifted! He soared above the meadow, feeling free and joyful. “You did it!” Hank called from below. Thomas realized that it wasn’t just his wings—it was the belief in himself that had set him free. From that day forward, Thomas flew alongside the other butterflies, no longer waiting for his chance but embracing it.
