Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim who was scared of everything. One sunny day, he decided he wasn't going to let his fears hold him back anymore. He put on a brave face and set out into the world, determined to have a good time.

Along the way, he met many animals who were feeling just like him: seething with anger, shy, tense, and wary. But with each encounter, Tim found that by being upbeat and tranquil, he was able to calm everyone down and make everyone feel better.

As the day went on, Tim started to feel a bit weary from all the excitement. But he was also filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride in himself for not letting his fears get the best of him.

Finally, as the sun began to set, Tim made his way back home, a little bit worried about what tomorrow would bring. But he was comforted by the thought that no matter what happened, he would always have his bravery and positivity to see him through.

The end.
