Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Maria. Maria loved to play with her toys and draw pictures. But one day, Maria didn’t feel like doing anything. She felt sad and didn’t want to play or draw.

Her mom noticed that Maria wasn’t her usual happy self and asked her what was wrong. Maria told her that she didn’t feel like doing anything. Her mom smiled and said, “That’s okay, Maria. Sometimes we all feel like that. But you know what? You can do anything you set your mind to. You just need a little motivation.”

Maria didn’t know what motivation was, so her mom explained it to her. She said that motivation is like a little voice inside of us that tells us to keep going, even when things get tough. It’s what helps us reach our goals and do our best.

Maria thought about what her mom said and decided to try to find her motivation. She looked at her toys and thought about how much fun she had playing with them. She picked up her favorite toy and started to play. Before she knew it, she was having so much fun that she forgot all about feeling sad.

From that day on, Maria remembered what her mom said about motivation. Whenever she felt like giving up or not doing something, she would think about her little voice inside that told her to keep going. And with that motivation, Maria could do anything she set her mind to.
