Be Yourself

Be Yourself Frank was a fish. He had a good fish life, but he wasn't happy with it. All day, he would sit and watch the birds in the air fly from tree to tree. Frank wanted to be a bird, not a fish. Frank swam as fast as he could through the water and leaped into the air. He felt just like a flying bird until…. he realized that he was having trouble breathing.

He landed back in the water just as he was gasping for his last breath. “ That was strange, ” he thought. He jumped into the air again. But this time, he got caught in a low branch by the river. He was in a tree like a bird, but he couldn't breathe. He regretted trying to be a bird and struggled to wiggle free. Plop! Frank landed back in the water. After a few minutes, he caught his breath. He swam straight home and vowed to be the best fish he could be.
