Heather the Hopeful
Heather the otter lived in the sea, where she loved to play and swim.
She was a lively otter. She was the fastest swimmer and always won the races.
Heather had a special talent. She loved to find shiny pebbles and marbles on the sea floor.
One day, Heather found a seed while she was diving.
She picked up the seed and planted it near her home.
She thought, "This could be the beginning of a tree."
Every day, Heather would swim to the seed and watch it.
She was eagerly waiting for the seed to grow into a tree.
Days turned into weeks, but the seed did not seem to change.
Heather stayed hopeful. She kept returning to visit the seed most mornings.
One day, she noticed a small green sprout. The seed had started to grow!
Heather was so happy that she danced all the way home.
Days passed, and the sprout grew taller. It was now a small tree.
Heather was so proud of her tree.
She was grateful for the seed and its lesson. With hope, she knew she could complete her dreams.
