Zookeeper Zara's Stressful Day
Zara was a hardworking zookeeper who loved her job at Adventure Zoo. One sunny morning, she arrived to find the monkeys had escaped, the elephants were refusing to eat, and the peacocks were disturbing the guests with their loud cries. She felt a knot in her stomach, her heart was racing and she was sweating - she was stressed. She remembered her friend, Polly the wise old parrot, who always had good advice. She went to Polly's cage and explained her situation. Polly said, "Zara, you're experiencing stress. Take deep breaths, prioritize your tasks, and don't forget to take breaks." Zara followed Polly's advice. She took deep breaths, made a plan, and tackled one problem at a time. By the afternoon, the monkeys were back in their enclosure, the elephants were happily munching on their food, and the peacocks were calm. Zara had managed to turn her stressful day around. "Thank you, Polly!" Zara said at the end of the day. From then on, whenever she felt stress creeping in, Zara would remember to breathe, plan, and take breaks.
