Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Billy. He was very scared of the water. Whenever he saw a pool or the ocean, he would feel butterflies in his tummy. But Billy had a big brother named Ben, who loved to swim and have fun in the water. Ben wanted to help Billy overcome his fear.
One sunny day, Ben took Billy to the pool. He held Billy's hand and said, 'Don't worry, little brother. I'll stay with you and keep you safe.' They walked towards the shallow end of the pool, where the water was not too deep.
At first, Billy was still scared. He dipped his toes in the water and felt it tickle. But Ben splashed some water on Billy's legs and laughed. 'See, it's just water! It's fun!' Billy giggled and splashed Ben back. They started having a water fight, laughing and playing together.
As the days went by, Billy's fear started to disappear. He became braver and braver. He even learned how to float on his back with Ben's help. Billy realized that the water was not something to be afraid of, but something to enjoy and have fun with.
From that day forward, Billy and Ben spent many happy hours in the pool. They would splash, swim, and play games together. Billy had become a brave little swimmer, all thanks to his big brother's encouragement and love.
