The Mouse and the Lion

The Mouse and the Lion Some days I feel like a mouse. Other days I feel like a lion. Do you know what I mean? Some days I feel like I can do anything. I can lift anything, run anywhere and talk to anyone. …without any fear. But some days, I feel small and quiet. Maybe even a little scared of everything that is around me. I thought I was the only person who felt these ups and downs. But one day, I talked to the principal in the schoolyard. She said, " I know what you mean. "

I couldn't believe it! Our principal always seems so strong and happy. She talks to the whole school and everyone listens. She taught me a little trick. Now, whenever I feel a little unsure of myself, I do this little thing in my head. Promise not to laugh if I tell you? l roar!
