Read the story Easy English
Penny lives in the cloud kingdom. She has white fur, a pink mane, and soft pink wings. Penny is afraid of falling, so she cannot fly. She watches her friends play tag in the sky. Every morning, she walks to the edge of her cloud and tries to jump. But she gets scared and falls back onto the soft cloud.
One evening, a bright yellow light falls down from the sky. It is a baby star named Pip. Pip lands on a lower cloud and cries for help. The other Pegasuses are fast asleep in their beds. Penny knows she must help her new friend. She walks to the edge of her cloud. She takes a deep breath and jumps into the big sky.
She falls down, but then she remembers her pink wings. Penny opens her wings wide. She flaps them once and twice. Suddenly, she is floating in the air. Penny is flying! She lands softly and picks up Pip with her mouth. She flaps her strong wings and flies high up to the star family. Pip is safe with his mommy and daddy. Penny realizes flying is not scary at all. Now, she flies every single day.
Helping others and thinking about love can give us courage to beat our biggest fears.
