Before starting school, everyone agreed it was time for the little boy to get a haircut. His hair had grown long, giving him a sweet and distinctive look, but his parents thought a neat new style would help him look more ready for the big first day. The boy, however, didn’t see it that way. He was deeply attached to his long hair and worried that cutting it would change who he was. For several days, he refused, insisting he didn’t want to look different or lose the style he loved.
After plenty of gentle encouragement, he finally decided to give it a chance. When the haircut was finished, the transformation was truly remarkable. His face seemed to glow, his eyes looked brighter, and his smile lit up the room. It felt like a whole new version of him had come to life.
His parents were touched and amazed, realizing how such a small change could make such a big difference. And though he had been nervous at first, the boy couldn’t stop smiling — he loved his new look and felt proud for being brave enough to try something new.
