Self-esteem, confidence, self-confidence ... All of these are very abstract concepts that children have trouble understanding. For this reason, Marisa Alonso offers us this story entitled 'The Pompous Bear', which is designed to teach children to be themselves. The following story conveys to children that you do not have to change to like other people. You have to love yourself as we are!
In the forest they were celebrating. The flowers and trees stood upright in all their splendor, forming beautiful window displays. That night there was a festival and all the animals came to the clearing in the forest, very happy, with their best clothes.
Everyone saw Pompous Bear arrive on the path: big, furry, dressed in pink leggings, colorful bracelets and necklaces and earrings in the ears. Some looked at him smiling and nudged each other as he passed by, but Pompous Bear made it a point to enjoy the night and ignore the mocking stares.
Suddenly:
- Your! Where are you going like this dressed? - He heard behind him.
Pompous Bear turned and saw the angry wolf.
- Is to me? - He said surprised.
- You're making a fool of yourself! Get out of here! - repeated the wolf.
- I'm not doing anything! Let me enjoy the verbena!
Then the wolf pulled out its fangs and approached him threateningly.
- Get out of here! You're not welcome!
- I am not doing anything wrong! Dressed as I want! - Pompous Bear replied, recoiling from the wolf's aggressiveness.
The forest animals that were witnessing the scene, were milling around.
- Why don't you leave Pomposo alone? It doesn't hurt anyone wearing like this! - Said a young fox raising his voice.
The wolf glared at the fox.
- Who do you think you are? Dwarf fox! - He yelled, forgetting for a moment Pompous Bear.
- A little fox who tells only the truth! - The fox's parents said supporting their son.
- Leave Pompous Bear alone! - said the hares and rabbits.
- Everyone dresses how they want! - Said the snakes and snakes.
- Not hurt anyone! - said the owls and owls.
- Why don't you just leave him alone? - the moths and butterflies spoke.
- Enough already! We want to enjoy the night! - Said the toads and frogs valiantly jumping in front of Pomposo to protect him.
Faced with the avalanche of protests, the wolf had no choice but to lower his ears and left very angry.
The music played again, and everyone, also Pompous Bear, they enjoyed the verbena.
