Example of a scene about courage:
Talent Show

A. But you are a great singer.
B. Thanks. I do love to sing, but singing in front of people makes me nervous.
A. I could help you.
B. How?
A. You could sing in front of me until you feel more comfortable.
B. That might work.
A. Then, when it’s time for the talent show you can look at me in the audience.
