All of us, whether a small kid or an adult, have good friends and worst enemies. But do you know who your real enemy is? It is your own fear of failure.

Everybody has fears about something or the other. Being bold, simply means the will to overcome and win this fear of failure. Here's a small story for kids to know about what is the plight of people who do not overcome fear. Read on.The Story
Once upon a time, there lived a saint in a forest who possessed some magical powers. One day, when he was in deep meditation, a little mouse came running to him and said "Oh holy man, please save me. I'm very afraid of cats. I'm tired of trying to save myself from them everyday. Please be kind and change me into a cat, so that I don't have to be afraid of them anymore". On hearing this, the saint took pity on the mouse and whispered a few hymns. All of a sudden, the mouse changed into a cat. The mouse thanked the saint and left the place happily.
After a few days, the mouse (now a cat), again came running to the saint, this time with a request to be changed into a dog, so that it need not be afraid of dogs anymore. The saint accepted the request and miraculously changed the cat into a dog.
A week passed. The mouse (now a dog), again came to the saint, to be changed into a tiger so that it need not be afraid of any other animal in the forest and can live at peace. This time the saint thought that this was a good idea and turning it into a tiger will not only solve the mouse's problem, but also his problem of getting bothered again and again. So, the dog was now changed into a tiger. The tiger went happily to live freely in the forest.
A few weeks passed. A hunter came to the forest and started hunting on this tiger. The tiger immediately fled to the saint and this time, as per its request, it was changed into a hunter!
But just after a few days, the hunter came to the saint and fell at his feet and started to cry. He began to say "Oh great saint, I'm afraid of other people. They always tend to pick up a fight with me. Please change me..". At this point, the saint interrupted and said "Look, whatever form I change you into, your fear always remains with you. So, your form is not the thing to be changed, but it's your fear that needs to be changed. Overcome your fear and you will be peaceful in your life whoever or wherever you are." So saying, the saint changed the hunter back to his original form, a little mouse.Moral
Fear is the worst enemy that needs to be conquered.
Wow! What a wonderful creative story. Yes, most of us will feel about fear. Even they didn't do anything. Once you fear about anything then you should fear about all the things. If we are always worrying about fear then one day will come, then we will fear by seeing our shadow itself.
This is a good story!
