Manisha loved school. Every day, she'd wake up excited to learn new things.

Her favorite subject was history. She enjoyed stories of kings and queens.

But there was one thing Manisha feared the most: speaking on stage.

One day, her teacher announced a school play. 'Who wants to join?' she asked.

Manisha's heart skipped. She loved the idea but feared the stage.

Her friend Priya noticed her hesitation. 'You can do it, Manisha!' she said.

At home, she told her brother about the play. 'You're amazing, Misha!' he exclaimed.

The next day, Manisha signed up for the play, feeling a mix of excitement and fear.

Rehearsals began. Manisha practiced hard, stumbling, but never giving up.

Her family listened to her lines every night, cheering her on.

As the play neared, Manisha's confidence grew. Her voice became stronger.

On the night of the play, Manisha took a deep breath and stepped on stage.

She spoke her lines with passion. The audience was captivated.

After the play, everyone cheered. Manisha had overcome her stage fear!
