Once upon a time, there was a brave little girl named Lily. She was walking home alone one evening when she noticed something strange. The trees were whispering and the wind was howling.

As Lily continued walking, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw a spooky figure wearing a black cloak. The figure started chasing her!

Lily ran as fast as she could, but the figure was getting closer and closer. She remembered her mom telling her to be confident and confront her fears.

Lily stopped running and turned to face the figure. She took a deep breath and said, 'Who are you? Why are you chasing me?'

The figure stopped and removed its cloak, revealing a friendly face underneath. It was Lily's neighbor, Mr. Johnson. He apologized, explaining that he was playing a prank.

Lily laughed and forgave him. From that day on, she learned the importance of being confident in uncertain situations. She walked home feeling proud and brave.
