A Case of Nerves
Vonya woke up with her stomach doing
flip flops. It felt like something was fluttering
around inside her! “Mom!” she called. “I
don’t feel good.”
Vonya’s mother came to the bed, leaned
down, and asked what was the matter.
“I don’t know,” said the girl. “I woke up
thinking about the talent show. It’s today,
and I’m going to have to sing in front of a
hundred people. All of a sudden my stomach
feels AWFUL!”

With a smile, her mother patted Vonya’s
hand. “You’re just nervous. Those are only
butterflies in your stomach. It’s a feeling
some people have when they are nervous.
Don’t worry. Just practice your song while
you get dressed. Keep practicing whenever
you have a chance, even if it’s only in your
head. You’ll be fine.”
“Really?” Vonya asked. Before her feet
where on the floor, the words of the song
formed in her mind. Then, singing, she
walked out of her room. She would be fine.
The noise from her singing was sure to make
those little butterflies go away!
