There once was a boy named Jake. This boy lived in a small town where every boy seemed to be just like the other. But Jake was not like every other boy. He wanted to be more than just a boy in a small town.

One day, the boy decided to do something different. While every other boy played soccer, Jake, the curious boy, sat by the river and wrote stories. “Why do you do that?” asked another boy.

“Because I want to be a great writer one day,” the boy replied.

The other boy laughed. “A boy like you? Writers are famous people! You’re just a boy.”

But Jake, the determined boy, didn’t stop writing. Every morning, the boy would wake up early, and every night, the boy would stay up late, filling pages with words.
