Once upon a time, there were two siblings: [Oscar](6XM2NPPJ) and [Connie](4RY2HTVM). [Oscar](6XM2NPPJ) loved to read, spending hours with his nose in books. He had bright ginger hair, playful freckles, and sparkling curiosity. [Connie](4RY2HTVM), on the other hand, had shiny blonde hair, blue eyes, and plenty of freckles, too. She preferred playing with her friends in the park rather than reading.

One day, their teacher announced, 'Tomorrow, we’ll have a reading test!' [Oscar](6XM2NPPJ) was excited and confident, but [Connie](4RY2HTVM) felt jittery. 'I don’t like reading,' she whispered to her mom later that evening, clutching her toy bunny.

That night, [Oscar](6XM2NPPJ) saw his sister looking sad. '[Connie](4RY2HTVM), I can help you!' he said encouragingly. Together, they sat with a book about magical forests filled with exciting pictures and simple words.

[Oscar](6XM2NPPJ) read aloud in a funny voice, making [Connie](4RY2HTVM) laugh. 'See? Reading is fun!' he said, showing her how the pictures matched the words. Slowly, [Connie](4RY2HTVM) joined in, working her way through the story.

The next day, [Connie](4RY2HTVM) felt a little braver about the reading test. She remembered how [Oscar](6XM2NPPJ) helped her sound out the tricky words and smiled as she tried her best.

When [Connie](4RY2HTVM) finished, she realized that reading wasn’t so scary after all. Seeing her brother’s proud smile made her feel even better. 'I did it!' she thought.

From then on, [Connie](4RY2HTVM) decided that maybe reading wasn’t so bad. Every night, she and [Oscar](6XM2NPPJ) explored new stories together, giggling at the funny parts and gasping at the exciting ones.

Books became their new adventure, taking them to places they’d never imagined. And [Connie](4RY2HTVM) learned that with a little practice, she could do anything she set her mind to!

Maybe someday, [Connie](4RY2HTVM) thought, she’d even help someone else discover the magic of reading – just like [Oscar](6XM2NPPJ) did for her.

And so, with [Oscar](6XM2NPPJ)’s help, [Connie](4RY2HTVM) became not just a reader, but a lover of stories – proving that sometimes, a little encouragement can make all the difference.
