What if she's not perfect?When her turn comes during class story time, Zara opens her book, takes a deep breath, and begins to read... but misreads the word "happy" as "hoppy." The room fills with giggles, and Zara's cheeks flush with embarrassment. Overwhelmed and ashamed, she crawls under her desk, hoping to disappear from the laughter.But then comes Miss Maple, her gentle and understanding teacher. Rather than correcting or dismissing Zara's feelings, Miss Maple joins her on the floor and shares a story of her own-a childhood baking disaster filled with too much salt and not enough sugar. Her message is clear: mistakes are normal, and they often lead to the sweetest lessons.As Zara listens, her fears begin to melt away. She realizes that she's not alone. Even her friends have made funny, embarrassing, even big mistakes. And just like them, she can bounce back. With a brave smile and a renewed spirit, Zara decides to give reading another try. This time, her voice rings clear and confident. And when the class cheers, it's not just for a job well done-it's for the courage to try again.By the end of the day, Zara sees mistakes in a whole new light.
