Marlon's Mighty Heart: A Little Horse's Big Race
Marlon, the horse, lived in a stable far from the city.
He loved the smell of the fresh hay and the cool breeze of the morning.
However, there was a problem; Marlon was a very small horse, smaller than any other horse he knew.
His friend, George the bullfrog, told him that being smaller didn't make him less valuable.
One day, Marlon found a mirror in the stable.
He looked at himself and thought, 'I may be smaller, but I can be better'.
George agreed, saying, 'Size isn't the only factor that matters, Marlon'.
Marlon decided to prove that he could do anything the bigger horses could do.
He decided to enter the annual horse race at the harbor.
Marlon trained hard every day, running faster and jumping higher.
George was his tutor, cheering him on and giving him advice.
Finally, the day of the race arrived.
The race was tough, but Marlon was tougher.
He used his smaller size to his advantage, slipping through gaps the bigger horses couldn't.
Despite all odds, Marlon won the race and was awarded a collar of flowers.
He proved that being smaller didn't make him less; in fact, it made him better.
Marlon became a major inspiration to all the animals in the stable.
They realized that size isn't the only factor that matters.
Marlon continued to live happily in his stable, proud of his achievements.
Remember, it's not about how big you are, but how big your heart is," he told everyone.
