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?
