    High up in the Nepalese mountains, there was a young Ibex named Ibi. Ibi was different from the other Ibexes, he was terrified of heights.

    His fear made it difficult for him to join in with the others as they leapt from cliff to cliff. His knees would shake and his heart pounded.

    One day, a shadow swept over the mountains. It was Khan, the Golden Eagle, known for his soaring flights and piercing eyes.

    Ibi’s fear grew knowing that Khan was nearby. He knew he had to conquer his fear to evade Khan. So, he decided to take a leap of faith.

    The next day, Ibi stood on the edge of a cliff. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and jumped.

    He landed safely, but his fear was still there. However, Ibi didn't give up. He knew he needed to try again, and so he did, every day.

    Days turned into weeks, and Ibi kept practicing. His jumps were becoming more confident, and his fear began to slowly fade.

    One day, Khan swooped down from the sky. Ibi saw him coming and knew he had to move quickly.

    With a deep breath, he jumped from the cliff. This time, he felt no fear. He landed safely on the other side, just as Khan swooped past.

    Khan, seeing Ibi's courage, decided to leave the young Ibex alone. He soared back into the sky, disappearing into the clouds.

    From then on, Ibi was no longer afraid of heights. He leapt from cliff to cliff with ease, enjoying the feeling of freedom.
