Crossing Despite Fear

In a mountain village, a young goat named Niko faced a narrow wooden bridge every day to reach green

grass on the other side. He was afraid of falling, so he often turned

back. One morning, an old goat calmly crossed the bridge, step by careful

step. “How are you not scared?” Niko asked. The old goat smiled, “I am scared.

I just don’t let fear decide.” Watching closely, Niko took one slow step… then another.

He focused on balance, not fear. Soon, he reached the other side safely.

Niko learned a quiet truth: “Bravery isn’t the absence of fear—it’s moving forward despite

it.”
