Tika is known as a quiet girl. At school, she rarely speaks, let alone appears in public. She prefers to write poetry in her notebook, which she never shows to anyone.

One day, the school held a poetry reading competition between classes. The Indonesian teacher, Mrs. Rina, surprisingly chose Tika to represent her class. "The poem you wrote is beautiful. You have to read it," said Mrs. Rina with a smile. Tika was restless for days. She was afraid of being teased, afraid that her voice would tremble, and afraid that everyone would laugh at her.

But when the day of the competition arrived, she saw her classmates cheering for her. With shaking hands and heavy breathing, Tika stepped onto the stage. She read her poem about the little courage that grows slowly. And when she finished, applause filled the school hall. Tika not only won the competition that day. She also managed to conquer the fear that had been limiting her.
