Once, there were two boys, Ethan and Liam, who lived in a village near Oldenburg. Ethan was six years old, while Liam was ten. They were good friends.
One day, as an adventure, they went a little too far away from the village. While they were running around and exploring, Liam fell into a well. He started screaming because he didn't know how to swim and thought he would drown. Ethan panicked and looked around for help, but there was no one to assist them. However, he saw a bucket tied to a rope lying nearby. Without wasting any time, Ethan threw the bucket into the well and asked Liam to hold it.
Ethan started pulling up the rope. He kept pulling and pulling until Liam was out of the well. They were happy and cheering each other, and they ran quickly towards their home. When they told their families and the villagers about the event, nobody believed them because Ethan was too young and weak to even lift a bucket full of water. Hence, nobody believed that he could have pulled Liam out of the well. But only Uncle Peter believed them. Uncle Peter was an experienced old man whom the villagers trusted. So, they asked how this could be possible.
Uncle Peter said, "There is nothing to explain. The boy has already told you how he did it. He threw the bucket and pulled the rope to save his friend. What's strange here is how he managed to gather such strength. This was because there was no one to tell him that he couldn't do it at that time. Even he himself didn't think so." Then he added, "The only thing that can empower you is yourself. In fact, you can do it if you think you can do it." The villagers realized then how important it is to believe in yourself.
"Do you now believe you can?" "Yes, yes, I can! I can, Grandma!"
