It was a bright Sunday morning when Belle woke up with the biggest smile on her face. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Her father was going to teach her to ride a bicycle. She dressed quickly and gulped down her breakfast.
After breakfast, Belle’s father showed her the different parts of a bike. Then he said he would hold onto the back of the bike while she peddled. But Belle’s excitement got the better of her. She said she wanted to try riding by herself. Her father let go. Belle quickly lost her balance and crashed to the ground. The fall dazed her. She grumpily agreed to let her father keep holding the bike while she rode.
Every once in a while, he would let go. The moment he did, Belle would lose her balance and topple over. Her father explained that this was perfectly normal. He said that all first-time riders fall. Even so, Belle’s mood darkened with each fall. After a while, she wanted to give up and return home.
Belle’s father tried to talk her out of quitting. He pointed toward some other children biking nearby. He showed her how happy they looked as they rode their bicycles. He told her she needed to keep trying. With a little more effort, she would soon enjoy riding just like the other children. His words gave Belle the determination to keep going.
After several more failed tries, Belle finally got the hang of it. She began gently peddling by herself, beaming with pride. She had finally done it! That night, she went to bed with a couple of bruises and cuts. But she had an even bigger smile on her face than she’d had in the morning. She would forever remember this day and the lesson she learned about never quitting.

i think its the first one because having n adult around is good but not always effective and having no friends makes no sense. i guess the last one makes sense but its not very relivant to the question so-
