Paw-sitive Tales The Power of Perseverance Musa Moku

Written by: PJ Osses Illustrated by: Tomas Diaz

As Musa Moku was practicing his kicks and punches, Cleo approached him. "Wow, you're really good! Are you going to the tournament too?"

Cleo asked. Musa Moku stopped his training and looked at the young curious white belt. "Yes, I am. It's my chance to prove myself and show everyone what I'm capable of."

Cleo looked up at Musa Moku in admiration. "That's really cool. I wish I could participate in the tournament too, but I'm too young." wemartialarts.com | thecat.academy | Master: (305) 494-8395 | Registrations (305) 284-0900

Musa Moku

"Don't worry, Cleo. One day, you'll have your chance to show the world what you can do," Musa Moku said with a smile.

On the day of the tournament, Musa Moku was feeling nervous but excited. He knew he had to give it his all to make it to the top.

As he was waiting for his first match to begin, he overheard some of the other cats in the competition talking about him.

"Look at that Panther, he doesn't stand a chance. He is too skinny" Musa Moku didn't let their words discourage him. He knew he had something to prove and was determined to do his best.

When it was time for his first match, Musa Moku stepped into the ring with confidence. He faced off against a fierce tiger, who was much larger than him.

But Musa Moku didn't let the tiger intimidate him. He used his speed and agility to dodge the tiger's attacks and deliver swift kicks and punches.
