I AM TALENTED

The most Talented girl in the world story.

Lana could do lots of things. She could ,

, and even . But she didn’t feel

very talented. She couldn’t like her dad could. She

couldn’t like her granny could. She couldn’t even

like her best friend could. Lana felt frustrated!

She needed a plan, and a list. Maybe she could teach her pet turtle to

today. That seemed talented. Then she would practise

on Tuesday,

on Thursday, and on Saturday. So she did!

On Sunday, Lana decided she was pretty talented after all.

THE END.
