Overcoming Fear Through Friendship and PracticeOnce upon a time, there was a shy clown named Benny who loved making people laugh but was scared to perform in front of others. One day, he met a new friend named Tina, who was a brave and outgoing trapeze artist.
With Tina's help and friendship, Benny practiced performing until he became confident enough to do it alone. Read on to find out how Benny overcame his fears and found the courage to make everyone laugh under the big top tent!
Meet Benny the Shy Clown
Once upon a time, in a circus far away, there was a clown named Benny. He loved making people laugh with his silly antics and colorful costumes. But there was one problem - he was shy! Whenever it came time to perform in front of others, Benny’s knees would shake, and his heart would race faster than an elephant.
Benny tried everything he could think of to overcome his fear - deep breaths, positive affirmations, even wearing lucky socks! But nothing seemed to work. He began to wonder if he’d ever be able to perform without feeling scared.
Despite his fears, Benny continued working at the circus every day. He helped set up the tent before each show and made sure everything was running smoothly behind the scenes. Even though he wasn’t performing on stage yet- it still felt like being part of something big!
One day while walking around backstage after another successful performance by all other performers- Benny met someone new who would soon change everything for him…
Benny Meets Tina, His New Friend
Benny the Clown was feeling anxious about his upcoming performance at the circus. He loved making people laugh but got nervous when it came to performing in front of others. He didn’t know what to do until he met Tina, a trapeze artist who noticed his nervousness and offered to help him overcome his fears.
Tina was a friendly and outgoing girl with a big smile on her face. She saw that Benny was feeling uneasy and approached him with kindness. “Hi there! I’m Tina,” she said, extending her hand for a handshake.
Benny felt shy at first but quickly warmed up to her friendly demeanor. They started chatting about their love for the circus and how they both enjoyed entertaining others. The more they talked, the more comfortable Benny felt around her.
“I noticed you’re feeling nervous about your performance,” said Tina, sensing Benny’s unease. “Is there anything I can do to help?”
Benny hesitated before finally admitting his fear of performing in front of others: “I just get so scared sometimes when people are watching me.”
Tina listened attentively before offering some words of encouragement: “Don’t worry; everyone gets stage fright sometimes! What if we practice together? We could work on our acts together until you feel confident enough to perform solo.”
Benny’s eyes lit up as he realized that having someone like Tina by his side could make all the difference in overcoming his fears.
Together, they began practicing every day – juggling balls while standing on stilts or riding unicycles across the stage- until one day -it was time for another show- this time -with newfound confidence resting inside each performer’s heart thanks largely due imparted courage from dear friend named-Tina!
Benny’s Practice with Tina
Benny was thrilled that he had found a friend like Tina who understood his nervousness. Initially, they started practicing together slowly, first juggling while sitting and then gradually moving to more complicated tricks.
Tina made sure that Benny stayed focused on the task at hand and didn’t get distracted by his fears. “You can do this,” she would encourage him every time he felt unsure of himself.
Together, they worked on perfecting their skills in front of the mirror. Benny tried out new tricks, such as balancing objects on his nose or riding a unicycle while juggling balls.
As they practiced day after day, Benny began feeling more confident about performing in front of others. He realized that practice indeed makes perfect!
One afternoon during one of their practices when he managed to balance three balls effortlessly for almost five minutes straight without dropping any – it felt like an achievement! All thanks to Tina’s constant encouragement and support.
From then onwards - whenever Benny doubted himself- all he had to do is remember how far he’d come since first meeting Tina- and how much better each performance became through practice!
Benny’s Big Moment
It was finally the day of the big circus show, and Benny had been eagerly waiting for this moment. He had practiced every day with Tina and felt confident enough to perform in front of a large audience.
The big top tent was full of people, and everyone was excited to see what the circus performers had in store for them. The ringmaster announced that it was now time for Benny’s act.
Benny felt his heart start racing as he stepped onto the stage. But then he remembered all the practice sessions he had with Tina, which gave him confidence that everything would go well.
He started juggling balls while balancing on a unicycle, and soon enough, everyone in the audience began laughing at how silly he looked! Next up were some funny facial expressions combined with acrobatics that made even more people laugh out loud!
As Benny performed each trick flawlessly, his confidence grew stronger. At last came his grand finale: standing atop a giant ball while juggling flaming torches! Everyone held their breaths as they watched him do something so daring yet so incredible!
Finally when it all ended -the crowd erupted into applause- giving him a standing ovation!
Benny felt overjoyed - knowing deep down inside that without Tina’s help & support along every step of the way- none of this would have been possible!
Afterwards backstage when asked how did you feel? “I’m not scared anymore!” beamed Benny happily “I can’t wait until my next performance!”
Benny Overcomes His Fear
Benny’s heart was pounding as he stepped onto the stage. The bright lights shone in his eyes, and he could hear the audience murmuring in anticipation. He took a deep breath and remembered all of the practice sessions with Tina.
As he began to perform his tricks, Benny felt his confidence growing stronger with each passing moment. He juggled balls while balancing on a unicycle, spun plates on sticks without dropping any of them, and even rode a tiny bicycle around the ring!
The crowd erupted into applause after every trick he performed. Benny couldn’t believe how much fun it was to be performing without fear holding him back.
When it was time for his final act, Benny stood at one end of the tightrope while Tina stood at the other end holding a large hoop. As they had practiced many times before - she tossed it towards him- & this time there wasn’t an ounce of nervousness left within him!
He ran across that tightrope as if it were nothing – jumping through that hoop like an acrobat who’d been doing this their entire lives! When he landed on solid ground again – everyone cheered so loudly you could hardly hear yourself think!
Tina ran up to give her friend a big hug congratulating him on overcoming his fears- then together they both bowed down low taking in all their adoring fans’ appreciation!
From that day forward, Benny never let fear hold him back from anything else ever again – knowing what once seemed impossible is now achievable when you have friends by your side!
A Lesson in Overcoming Fear
Benny had always loved being a clown. He loved the colorful outfits, the silly jokes, and most of all, making people laugh. But there was one thing that made him feel nervous every time – performing in front of others.
He didn’t know why he felt so scared; maybe it was because he thought people would judge him or not find him funny enough. Whatever the reason, Benny wished he could overcome his fear and perform with confidence like other circus performers.
One day, Benny met Tina – a brave and outgoing trapeze artist who noticed his nervousness and offered to help him out. At first, Benny didn’t want to accept her offer as he thought she might make fun of him or think less of him for feeling scared.
But Tina was kind and understanding. She told Benny that it’s okay to feel scared sometimes but that doesn’t mean we can’t work through it together. And just like that, they started practicing together every day.
At first, Benny still felt nervous doing even simple tricks like juggling while on stilts or walking on a tightrope without falling off! But slowly over time -as they practiced more- his confidence grew stronger until finally one night under the big top tent when it was time for Benny’s performance - instead of feeling scared this time around -he felt excited!
He went out onto the stage without hesitation and performed all of his tricks flawlessly–making everyone laugh so hard their bellies hurt!!!
From then on out whenever it was time for another show no matter how many people were watching- whether 10 or 1000–Benny knew deep down inside that if ever afraid again all he had to do is remember what friendship meant alongside practice & perseverance!
