Read the passage: "The young otter watched the older otters crack open clams on the rocks. She tried once, twice, three times—each attempt ended with the clam slipping back into the water. 'Just give up,' chattered her brother. 'Some things take time,' her mother said calmly. The next morning, the young otter positioned the clam just so, raised a stone, and struck. The shell cracked clean open. She tasted the sweet meat and smiled. From that day, she never shied from a difficult task." What is the theme of this passage?

Otters are clever animals. Older siblings are not always right. Persistence leads to success. Clams are hard to open.
