I felt nervous. —
I wasn’t ready to share my story.
Still, I handed it to my partner, Penny.
“Here’s mine, Lisa,”
Penny said with a small, uneasy smile.
As she passed hers to me, she looked uncomfortable as well.
I started reading.
Penny’s story was about a dog named Sunny that saved a family from a storm.
Wait… What’s going on?
My story was about a bird named Terry that rescued a boy from a hurricane.
The animals and names were different, but the stories were almost the same.
We were quiet for a moment.
