Bab 3: The World in Words: Story from Every Corner

The Brave Little Turtle Once upon a time, in a vast blue ocean, there lived a tiny turtle named Toby. Toby was curious and adventurous, but he was also scared of the deep sea where sharks lurked. One day, his best friend, Mia the seahorse, got trapped in a coral reef during a storm. Toby hesitated at first, remembering his fear of the deep. But Mia's cries for help gave him courage. Slowly but steadily, Toby swam through the treacherous waters, dodging sharp rocks and avoiding the shadowy shapes of predators. He reached the reef, used his small but strong flippers to move the coral, and freed Mia. When they returned to the safety of the shallow waters, the other sea creatures cheered for Toby. From that day on, Toby realized that bravery wasn’t about being fearless but about overcoming fear to help others. What is the orientation of the story?
