Once upon a time, in the icy mountains near Lake Tahoe, there lived an adolescent big horn sheep named Rocky. He had big, curled horns and fluffy white fur.
Rocky was determined to become a brave man sheep. He practiced leaping high and climbing steep cliffs. He never gave up!
One day, a fierce snowstorm struck the herd, and the little lambs got separated. Rocky felt worried but remembered his training. He led them to safety, showing great confidence.
As time passed, Rocky grew bigger and stronger. He faced fearsome predators like wolves and coyotes, but his confidence never wavered. He protected the herd fearlessly.
One spring day, Rocky discovered a hidden field of sweet, green grass. He shared this precious find with the whole herd, gaining their admiration for his bravery.
Now a wise and strong man sheep, Rocky understood the true meaning of life. It wasn't about being the fastest or the strongest, but about having confidence in oneself.
Rocky became a leader, guiding the herd to new pastures and teaching young sheep to be courageous. His confidence inspired them all.
And so, Rocky continued to live a great and fulfilling life in the frigid Sierras, near Lake Tahoe, always remembering the power of confidence.
