Indie is Making a Horse Out of Beeswax

In the Bluey episode "Cotton," the classmates are making animals out of beeswax.

Indie wants to make a horse, but her classmates think it looks like a cow. She starts to feel like she’s not good at anything. Her mate, Winton, gives her a hand, and together they try to make the horse look just right. They found the neck is too short compared to the true one. So they stretch the neck a bit, and now the classmates say it’s a giraffe! Too long! Eventually, they adjust the neck again, and finally, it looks like a horse!

During the process, Indie feels like giving up. She says, “I can’t make a horse… but it’s a good cow.” That moment made me think: if we always change our ideas just to fit what others think, are we really being true to ourselves?

Thanks for the correction! Since this is an AU Cotton, I went with “mate” in my note to keep the tone more Aussie. Appreciate the clarification though!

Indie is MakingMakes a Horse Out of Beeswax

In the Bluey episode "Cotton," the classmates are makingmake animals out of beeswax.

Present tense in essays, present continuous reads strange.

Indie wanttries / intends to make a horse, but her classmates think it looks like a cow.

Your sentence is correct but "tries" or "intends" is clearer.

Her matefriend, Winton, gives her a hand, and together they try to make the horse look just right.

"Mate" is used more conversationally. 100% correct though.

They found the neck is too short compared to the true onan actual horse.

"The true one" is very good, but it's rather poetic. "A true horse" could work too but "an actual horse" is best.

So they stretch the neck a bit, and now the classmates say it’s's giraffe looking / it resembles a giraffe / it looks like a giraffe!

She says, “I can’t make a horse… but it’s a good cow.” That moment made me think: if we always change our ideas just to fit what others think, are we really being true to ourselves?

Perfect!
