Cindy the Cheetah

There was a little cheeta whose name was Cindy, who loved to sing, However, she was tone deaf, her singing made all the animals in the kingdom ears ring. They would call her names and say" shut up you're no good. The lioness Queen of the jungle, told her that she had a gift inside of her but she must practice whenever she could. She took the lioness' advice and practiced all the time, Then one day she opened up her mouth and her voice was beautiful and sublime. All of the ones that insulted and called her names are now her biggest fans. Moral- Stay true to your dream even when other's doubt.
