Hope and Courage Worksheet
The Lantern in the Storm
Rain rattled against the windows of the little harbour café. The storm had cut the power, and the ferry carrying supplies was delayed. Inside, Sophie watched her grandfather check the candles. “We may have to close,” he said. His voice sounded tired. Sophie remembered the notice on the café door: the village’s winter food collection would be sorted there that evening. Several families were counting on it. “Could we move the boxes to the community hall?” she asked. The hall was only two streets away, but the path beside the harbour was already flooded. Grandad shook his head. “It’s too risky in this weather.” Sophie felt a flicker of disappointment. She was worried too, but she did not want to give up. She rang the hall caretaker, who suggested the safer uphill route. Then Sophie and Grandad packed the food into waterproof bags. They waited until the worst gusts passed before setting off together, carrying a lantern between them. At the hall, two neighbours were waiting with torches. Everyone worked carefully, checking each box against the list. By the time the ferry arrived the next morning, the food was dry and ready to share. Grandad smiled at Sophie. “You didn’t ignore the danger,” he said. “You found a safer way forward.” Sophie felt proud, but she also knew she had not solved everything alone. Asking for advice and working with others had helped the plan succeed. Outside, the rain had stopped. A pale strip of sunlight appeared above the harbour.
