A drawing from the story “Samer and Brave Tweety”

In the Land of Imagination, Samer was afraid to speak up in class. He always told himself, “If I talk, the others might laugh at my ideas.”

One day his mother gave him a little bird called “Tweety”, who sang beautifully without fear. Samer noticed the bird was never afraid to sing in front of people, and asked his mother, “Why isn’t Tweety scared?” She answered wisely, “Because he believes every chirp has an ear to hear it, and every idea a heart to understand it.”

“Every chirp has an ear to hear it, and every idea a heart to understand it.”

Samer thought about his mother’s words and said, “What if I were like Tweety, and shared my ideas bravely?” From that day on, whenever he felt afraid, he remembered Tweety, raised his hand in class, and said his idea out loud.

Each time he spoke up, his heart grew stronger and braver, until he no longer feared being laughed at; he knew every idea has a place, and every voice an ear to hear it. Samer and his friends learned that ideas, like birdsong, need courage to be heard, and that confidence comes from believing in the value of what we say.
