Rocky's Rockin' Dream
Rocky's Rockin' Dream
Rocky the raccoon loved to sing. He sang in the morning, he sang at noon, and he sang at night. But the other animals in the forest didn't like Rocky's singing.
"You're too loud, Rocky!" chirped Penny the bird.
"Your voice is funny!" grumbled Barry the bear.
Rocky felt sad. He wanted to share his songs, but no one seemed to like them. One day, Rocky saw a big stage in the middle of the forest. There was a sign that said, "Talent Show!"
Rocky felt nervous, but he knew he had to try. He put on his coolest sunglasses and a shiny red jacket. When it was his turn, he walked onto the stage and looked out at the crowd. He took a deep breath and started to sing. He sang his heart out. The song was happy and full of fun. To his surprise, the other animals started to dance! They clapped and cheered when he was done.
Penny the bird tweeted, "You were great, Rocky!"
Barry the bear boomed, "That was the best song ever!"
Rocky smiled. He learned that it's okay to be different. He said, "Just be yourself and sing it loud!"
