Once upon a time, There was a little girl 

named Abigail and she was so sad 

because unlike her friends Emily and 

Claire, she was nervous to perform at 

the big ballet recital on Saturday. 

Abigail was a worrier and she just could 

not escape the butterflies in her 

stomach. She was so afraid she would 

mess up and let her class down. 

Abigail went home that night, after 

their last ballet class before the show, 

with so much worry and fear. She was 

trying to think of every way possible to 

get out of the recital. She just did not 

know how to cope with her anxiety.

That night as Abigail lay in bed looking at 

the stars, she wished that she could find 

some way to cope with her worries 

before the show tomorrow evening. If 

only there was some way she could 

conquer her fear and put on the 

performance of a lifetime, she thought. 

The next morning Abigail woke up to 

find a strange looking box sitting in her 

living room marked, "To: Abigail". 

She knew she had not ordered anything, 

so what could it possibly be? Finally, just as 

she went to ask her mom, she heard a 

voice say, "Hello Abigail, I am Mr. 

Wiggleworm the Worry Box". She was in 

a state of shock when she realized the box 

was talking to her. She thought she had to 

be dreaming. 

Abigail quickly ran to the bathroom to 

splash water on her face to make sure 

she was not dreaming and then she 

headed back to the living room. She 

stared blankly at the box until once again 

it spoke to her. "Do not be alarmed 

Abigail, the Mayor of Worry World sent 

me to help you. You may know her she 

talks to you at school when you are 

anxious or stressed and she tries to help, 

in the human world you call her a 

counselor".

Mr. Wiggleworm the Worry Box then 

began to explain how he helps little girls 

and boys like Abigail struggling with 

anxiety. He is a worry box that stores all 

your worries. He tells Abigail to think of 

what exactly is worrying her about the 

dance recital and to tell it to him. After 

she explains everything, he tells her that 

her worries have been locked up inside 

him and that they will not be able to 

affect her for her performance.
