Who is in the story?
Read the story Easy English
In a tall tropical forest lived a tiger named Timmy. Timmy had a tender heart and thoughtful eyes. He also had a tiny tail, unlike the other tigers who had long and strong tails. The other tigers used their long tails to turn and balance when they ran. Some tigers teased Timmy because his tail was short. Timmy felt timid and sad, so he often walked through the trees alone.
One twilight evening, a strong wind began to twist through the forest. Tall branches trembled and fell, making the paths tangled and dangerous. The animals felt tired and terrified because they did not know where to go. Timmy looked around carefully and noticed a narrow trail through the trees. He knew his small tail could help him move in tight spaces. Timmy gently asked the animals to follow him.
Timmy moved quickly and guided the animals through the narrow tunnel. His tiny tail helped him stay close to the ground and turn with ease. Soon, all the animals reached a safe and quiet place. The animals thanked Timmy and said his tail was a real treasure. Timmy felt warm, happy, and proud. From that day on, the tigers trusted Timmy as a brave leader.
