Fear and Stress were twin brothers, born within minutes of each other they could never decide who came first. The two were always in competition- especially when it came to getting the attention of two sisters down the street, Bravery and Relaxation.
Sometimes, Fear would hide behind the corner and when Bravery walked by he would jump out and scare her on the way to school. Although Stress knew his brother could easily scare Bravery his tactics were a little different. Stress liked to leave bothering the sisters until the very end of the weekend and then suddenly surprise Relaxation just as she was drifting off to sleep. The two brothers could never leave their neighbors down the street alone- whenever the sisters felt contempt Fear and Stress would manage to creep up on them.
Towards the end of the year the two sisters, Bravery and Relaxation, were invited to a party to celebrate their friend Confrontation's Birthday. Although the Bravery and Relaxation were hesitant the sisters decided to attend even though they knew there was a large chance Fear and Stress would also be invited. When the day of the party came Bravery and Relaxation walked down the street to Confrontation's party, as they turned the corner they saw no sign of Fear and Stress. Wondering where they were the two looked all around until finally Relaxation spotted the brothers standing next to Confrontation as the cake was being cut. When the two groups made eye contact the sisters knew what they had to do. Suddenly, Bravery leaped forward and walked straight towards Fear and Stress and then with the help of Relaxation explained how the brothers behavior upset them. Feeling guilty, the brothers explained that in fact they did not know how their jokes upset them and promised not to do it any longer.
After Confrontation's party Fear and Stress did not bother Bravery and Relaxation any longer- they could now walk to school and enjoy the weekend without the interruption of Fear and Stress. From there on Bravery and Relaxation knew if Fear and Stress crept up on them again all they would need to do is remain calm and remind Fear and Stress how much their actions could affect them.
