Once upon a time, in a big, sparkling pond, there lived a little turtle named [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ). [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ) was a gentle soul, always with a kind smile, but he wasn’t the fastest swimmer in the pond.

Every day, [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ)’s friends—frogs, fish, and birds—laughed and teased him for being so slow. ‘Catch up, [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ)!’ they’d shout as they zipped away from him.

One blustery day, a strong wind rattled the pond. Suddenly, a baby duckling, no bigger than a ball of fuzz, was blown out of her nest and into the water!

The other animals panicked, unsure of what to do. But [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ) stayed calm. He swam slowly and steadily, his little legs paddling determinedly toward the tiny duckling.

[Timmy](KHWTF7DQ) gently scooped the duckling onto his shell and made his way back to the shore, one paddle at a time. He didn’t stop, even as the wind pushed against him.

When [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ) reached the shore, the animals erupted in cheers. ‘Hooray for [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ)!’ they cried. The duckling’s family gathered her close, and everyone realized [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ) was their hero.

From that day on, all the animals understood that being brave didn’t mean being fast or strong—it meant being kind and willing to help, just like [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ).

[Timmy](KHWTF7DQ) never stopped being his slow and steady self, and the animals never teased him again. [Timmy](KHWTF7DQ), the bravest turtle in the pond, had taught them all a lesson they would never forget.
