There was a newly born ship called Hilda. She was new, talented and beautiful.But there was one problem due to which she had never travelled before. Hilda was scared of sailing in the ocean. She was scared that she would not be able to stay afloat and would sink.This is why Hilda always stayed in the docks. She wished to be as brave as the other ships, she wished to play in the waves of the ocean, to chase after the sun, to laugh with the dolphins but she could not.One day a new Captain came to the dock. He looked at Hilda once and was absolutely mesmerised. He wanted to take Hilda into the sea.Hilda looked at him sadly and refused, thinking he would go away like all other skippers did.But this Captain sat besides Hilda and said, “Why won’t you sail?” Hilda replied embarrassed, “Because I am scared.”The skipper smiled, “There is little to be scared of, you are amazing and need to be confident in yourself. If you face any problems I will always protect you.”Hilda was not so convinced so the sailor said, “How about we go a little into the sea and then come back? We can repeat this everyday until you are comfortable.”Hilda excitedly agreed.At first she was very timid and unsure if she would be able to sail. But the skipper was always there to encourage her. In the beginning they went slowly, and not very far. Later, Hilda slowly gained confidence and was ready to venture further. The skipper was very proud of her!That is how Hilda slowly built confidence in herself and one day she finally finished a whole trip with many happy passengers. She was no longer scared and she had faith in herself. Moral:Sometimes we only need someone to trust in us so that we can trust in ourselves.

There was once a magician who was very clever and smart. He worked on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. He performed different tricks every night. The tourists and the crowd loved the magician. The cruise had different crowd every night so instead of playing new tricks, he used the same tricks over and over again.The captain of the ship had a pet parrot. The parrot noticed everything that happened on the ship. He saw the tricks performed by the magician every day. The parrot was smart and intelligent. After seeing the tricks many times, the parrot learned how the magician performed his tricks.The parrot used to tell everyone about the trick. When the magician would perform the trick he would shout, “Look, it is not the same hat.” He would then say, “Why are all the cards in this deck Ace of spades?” This made the magician very angry. The parrot would ruin the fun of the magic tricks. The magician was annoyed by the parrot but could not do anything as he was the captain’s pet. Things continued to be the same for a long time. They both did not like each other.One day, the ship sank in the sea. The terrible storm had broken the ship. The ship broke into many pieces and the passengers and crew members were drowning in the sea. Luckily, the parrot had flown away and placed himself on a wooden chunk. The magician also managed to save himself by hanging on the same wooden chunk as the parrot.They stared at each other with hatred. They did not utter a single word. This went on for days and then finally one day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said, “Okay, I give up. Where’s the ship?”
