Once upon a time, in a jungle light and bright, lived a crocodile named Timmy who always felt fright.
Timmy was timid, a bit scared of everything! From the buzzing bees to the chirping birds that sing.
One sunny day, Timmy wanted to play, but who would be his friend, and what would they say?
Timmy tiptoed to the river that flows, where he met Friendly Frog, with a jump and a pose.
"Don't be afraid, come along, it's fun!" said Friendly Frog, with a grin and a pun.
Timmy hesitated, then took a small hop, and found he could jump from lily to leaf, without a stop!
"Hooray!" Timmy shouted, with a big happy grin. "I did it, I did it! I'm not scared to swim!"
From that day on, Timmy was bold and bright. He faced his fears, morning, noon, and night.
Timmy roared at the moon and danced in the sun. His adventures had started, and oh, how they spun!
He made friends with Monkey, Zebra, and Hedgehog, and together they sang a cheerful jungle song.
So if you see Timmy, all alone or with friends, remember how courage brings joyful ends.
For Timmy the Timid is timid no more. He's brave and happy, from tail to snout!
