英语故事演讲2分钟三年级（The Little Boy Who Learned to Believe ）

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Henry. Henry was a curious and adventurous boy, always eager to explore the world around him. However, there was one thing that held him back - his lack of belief in himself.

The first time this became apparent was when Henry was asked to participate in the school talent show. His classmates had decided to put on a play, and every student was given a role. Henry was given the role of the lead actor, but he didn't think he was good enough. He felt like he couldn't memorize his lines or perform in front of a big audience. So, he told his teacher that he didn't want to do it.

The second time this became apparent was when Henry was invited to a birthday party at the local skating rink. Henry loved skating, but he didn't think he was good enough to keep up with his friends. He was afraid of falling down and making a fool of himself, so he told his mom that he didn't want to go.

It wasn't until Henry met a wise old man that he learned the true value of belief. The old man told Henry that he had a gift inside of him, but he needed to believe in it in order for it to come out. Henry didn't quite understand at first, but the old man explained.

\"Henry, you are a talented and special boy. You have the ability to do anything you set your mind to. But you need to believe in yourself first. Think of your beliefs as a seed - if you water it and give it sunlight, it will grow into something beautiful. But if you don't believe in yourself, the seed will never grow.\"

The words of the old man stayed with Henry for days. He thought about them every time he felt doubt creeping up on him. Slowly but surely, Henry started to believe in himself more and more. He practiced his lines for the talent show and asked his mom to take him to the skating rink.

The day of the talent show arrived and Henry was nervous, but he believed in himself. He walked onto the stage with his head held high and delivered his lines flawlessly. The audience cheered and clapped, amazed at how confident Henry was.

The birthday party at the skating rink was even better. Henry skated around the rink with his friends and didn't fall down once. He even tried doing a few tricks and succeeded. By the end of the day, Henry was beaming with pride. He had finally learned to believe in himself, and it had opened up a whole new world of possibilities.

From that day on, Henry faced every challenge with newfound confidence. He knew that he had the power to achieve anything he wanted, as long as he believed in himself. And he lived happily ever after.
