Maya’s Victory

Children were waiting in the harsh snow for the bell to ring. RING – RING – RING !! it rang in the cold climate. They all went inside through the ice-hard path. The school was like a heater. It was warm and crisp at the same time. The breakfast hallway smelled like hot cocoa. Everyone wore snow boots. Some people wore heavy coats which made them look like warm stuffies. Everyone had hot cocoa in their hands. They were drinking hot cocoa with their frozen lips. The climate was slowly changing. It felt fresh now. And that’s when the bell rang again RING – RING – RING!!!

In this school, there was a girl whose name was Maya. She had white sparkling skin with an apple-shaped face. Her cheeks were very pink which made Maya look like a cherry. Maya’s hair was like a hare, wavy and smooth as whipped cream. She wore a blue jumpsuit with white high socks in contrast with the boots, hat, and coat. 

While she was cute on the outside, Maya had a smart brain accompanied by her sneaky and funny attitude. Maya could handle any tough situation with her smart brain. But as she was an extraordinary girl, Maya was scared of darkness. And that’s why her bedroom lights were always on. Despite her weakness, Maya wanted to overcome her fear of darkness.

Maya was participating in the “Annual Winterfest Ice Skating”. She wore her warm and fluffy clothes and began to skate. But as she was ice-skating the lights suddenly went off! Maya once got frightened and began to scream. After a few minutes, she stopped screaming. She spoke to herself, “that this is the time to overcome my fear but, how?” Maya got an idea!

She started to think and visualize the things and the ones she loved. After some time, the lights came back. Maya was elated because finally she could overcome her fear. From that day onwards she never-ever feared darkness. She embraced darkness because she knew that she could only achieve her goal by facing it.  She didn’t perform well in the Ice-Skating Ring, but she was overjoyed to get victory within.
