  • picking up worms

    I still wish I could be a Hero, said the Brave Boy regretfully.

    We were walking home from school... It always takes longer on a day after it has rained because he stops to pick up all the worms on the sidewalk and put them in the grass.

    I decided to seize the Teachable Moment.

    Do you know part of what makes a hero?

    Helping someone/something that cannot help you back or repay you.

    He pondered this thought... as he continued to pick up worms.
