    Il était une fois, dans une grande forêt, un petit gland qui rêvait de devenir un grand et fort chêne.

    Il vivait à l’ombre de grands arbres, impressionné par leur taille et leur force.

    Chaque jour, le petit gland observait les chênes majestueux autour de lui et se demandait : "Comment vais-je devenir aussi grand qu'eux ?"

    Un jour, le vent se leva et emporta le petit gland loin de chez lui. Il se retrouva seul dans un champ, loin de la forêt où il était né.

    Le petit gland avait peur. Il se sentait minuscule dans cet immense champ vide.

    Mais il se souvenait des paroles du vieux chêne sage de la forêt : "Tu as en toi la force de devenir ce que tu désires. Il te suffit de croire en toi et de ne jamais abandonner."

    Alors, malgré la peur et les difficultés, le petit gland s'enfonça dans la terre et commença à pousser.

    Chaque jour, il puisait de la force dans le sol, se nourrissant de la pluie et du soleil. Il grandissait, lentement mais sûrement.

    Les saisons passaient, et le petit gland devint un jeune chêne.

    Mais un hiver particulièrement rigoureux frappa le champ. Le vent soufflait fort, la neige recouvrait tout, et le jeune chêne tremblait sous le froid.

    Il pensait qu'il ne survivrait pas à cette tempête.

    Pourtant, il se rappela les paroles du vieux chêne : "Les tempêtes te rendront plus fort. Ne les crains pas, car elles font partie de la vie."

    Année après année, il grandit encore et encore, devenant finalement un grand chêne majestueux.
