He started flying again. He still felt determined. He flew faster than before. He zoomed around a tall sunflower. He zipped over a babbling brook. He crossed the finish line! Tommy announced, “Danny wins!” Danny danced in the air. He understood how much courage it needs to fly through winds. If he did not have courage he would not have been able to perform well.
