Read the story and answer the question.

Brandon lived with his mother at one end of the forest. His school was at the other end of the forest. Every day he had to go through the forest to get to school and the forest was very scary.

One day he told his mother that he felt very scared to cross that forest.

His mother said, “Don’t be scared” “Your brother lives in the forest. Whenever you get scared, you can always call him. He won’t answer you but he will see that no harm comes to you.”

Brandon said, “Why didn’t you not tell me about my brother earlier? What is his name?”

Mother said, “His name is Courage. Whenever you get frightened, call his name, and he will silently follow you to school and see that you come back home safely.”

The next day Brandon was happy to get ready for school. He was not scared as he went through the forest on the way to school. That day, while coming home from school, he got scared when he heard the sounds of animals. Then he remembered his mother‘s words remembering him that his brother would protect him whenever he was frightened.

Brandon called out “Courage, Courage” with full confidence. Suddenly he began to feel better. He began to feel brave. He again called out “Courage, Courage.” He thought that his brother was silently following him, he began to sing softly and then loudly. He realized that he was not frightened after all. He crossed the forest confidently with courage.

The only traits we need to have to move ahead are confidence and courage in ourselves.

Who does Brandon's mother tell him lives in the forest?
