Bea, a little girl, is a bit different than other kids of her age. It is hard for her to not be distracted and stay on a single task. She sometimes dreams when in the classroom, and hence, misses a lot of classroom work. She has to miss recess to make up for the work she missed in the class hours. Sometimes, the teacher asks her to read out loud in the class and she becomes extremely anxious to do it. She finds it difficult to read the words and stammers mixing up the letters and words.

However, her teacher and family support her well and they encourage her to tell stories since she is a great storyteller. To keep Bea going, once, her teacher thinks of gifting her a tape recorder so that she can record her stories and relieve her anxiety of reading out loud in front of the class. This idea was spot on! Bea's friends enjoyed listening to these recorded stories during recess and slowly, Bea started gaining confidence in herself. She started realizing that there is nothing wrong in being different from others!
