That morning, a brother and his younger sister came to the beach to try surfing for the first time. The brother acted calm, but he was actually nervous. His sister was more honest—she admitted she was afraid of falling.

Their instructor smiled,
“Relax, every great surfer started by falling. The important thing is to try again.”

They went into the water. The brother tried first—he stood up for a moment, then splashed into the water. His sister laughed, but when it was her turn, she got even more nervous and missed the first wave.

The instructor came closer and said gently,
“Good try! The next wave is yours. Paddle strong, look forward, and be confident.”

The next wave came. The sister paddled, and her brother cheered from the side,
“You can do it!”

With the instructor’s guidance, she managed to stand for a few seconds. Her face immediately lit up. The brother tried again too, and this time he enjoyed a short ride.

At the end of the session, they sat on their boards laughing.
That day they realized—waves can be challenging, but with spirit, family support, and a patient instructor, fear can turn into smiles. 🌊
