Perfect for English learners, this story uses clear language and includes a vocabulary list to help you improve your English while enjoying a touching narrative.

STORY FEATURES

• Simple English
• Useful vocabulary
• Clear moral

As you read, pay attention to how the main character never stops trying, even when things seem difficult.

The Story of Leo

My name is Leo, and I had a dream. It was a big, wonderful dream that I carried with me everywhere. I wanted to be a singer. I didn't just want to sing songs; I wanted to make people feel happy and peaceful when they heard my voice.

But I lived in a small, quiet village. There were no music teachers here. No big concert halls. My family was kind, but they thought music was just for fun. They believed I should focus on more serious work. So, I kept my dream to myself. It was my own little secret.

My secret dream needed a place to live. So, I made the whole world my stage.

When I was taking our sheep to the field, I would sing to the wide, open sky. The sheep would look up, as if they were listening. When I was helping my mother by getting water from the old pump, I would sing along to its squeaky rhythm. Even while I was cutting vegetables for dinner, my knife would go chop, chop, chop and I would hum a tune. Walking to the store, my own footsteps became the drumbeat for my songs.

I was practicing my dream every single day, without anyone knowing. I didn't know if I was a good singer. I just knew that singing made my heart feel full.

What I didn't know was that I had a secret listener.

Her name was Mrs. Agatha, our next-door neighbor. She was a sweet old lady who loved her garden. She often sat by her window, and she started to hear my songs floating through the air. She told me later that my voice made her feel calm and happy.

One evening, I was sweeping our front porch and singing a song about hoping for a better tomorrow. Mrs. Agatha was in her garden. She quietly took out her phone and recorded a video of me singing.

She showed the video to her daughter, Clara, who was visiting from the big city. Clara worked for a news website. She watched the video and her eyes grew wide.

"Mom, this is amazing!" she said. "He has a beautiful voice. Can I share this online?"

I was a little shy, but I said yes. Clara posted the video with a simple title: "A Beautiful Voice from a Small Village."

We didn't think anything would happen. But something wonderful did.

People started to watch the video. They clicked "like" and shared it with their friends. Comments started to appear. People wrote things like, "This made me smile," and "Please don't stop singing."

The video became very popular in our area. Soon, the people who were organizing the big "City Music Festival" saw it. They sent a message to Clara: "We want this boy, Leo, to sing at our festival."

I couldn't believe it. My dream was offering me a chance! But then, fear grabbed my heart.

The city was big and loud. The stage would be huge, with bright lights. There would be hundreds of people in the audience. What if I made a mistake? What if they didn't like my simple village songs? I was so scared that I wanted to say no.

The night before the festival, I sat on my porch, feeling nervous. Mrs. Agatha came and sat beside me.

"You look worried, Leo," she said gently.

"I am," I admitted. "I'm scared I'm not good enough."

She smiled a kind smile. "Leo, you have been singing for the love of it. You sang for the sky and the fields. You didn't need a stage then. You don't need to sing for the people tomorrow. Just sing for the joy of it, like you always do. Sing for yourself."

Her words gave me courage.

The next day, standing backstage, my heart was beating very fast. I heard my name announced. I walked onto the stage. The lights were so bright I could barely see the crowd. I closed my eyes tight.

I didn't think about the people. I thought about my village. I pictured my sheep, the old water pump, and the dusty road. I took a deep breath, and I sang. I sang the same song I sang on the porch, with all my heart.

When I finished, there was a quiet moment. Then, the audience erupted into loud, happy applause. People were cheering and clapping! I saw smiles on their faces. In that moment, I knew I had shared my dream, and they had accepted it.

That day changed my life. It didn't make me famous, but it opened a door. A kind music teacher from the city offered to give me free lessons. My family saw how happy singing made me and they became my biggest supporters.

Most importantly, I learned that you should never give up on what you love.

Moral of the Story

Your dreams are valuable. Even if you have to start small and practice in secret, never stop working towards them. When you do what you love with all your heart, opportunities will find you.
