The Brave One

It wasn’t always so.  He is the brave one now, fearlessly going on so many rides.  He sister stays back, although normally fearless, she is apprehensive of the contraptions: the big carousel with the obnoxiously loud music and the plane sitting precariously above a moat of water.  She watches…eyes wide and soothing thumb in the mouth…as her brother tackles these monstrosities.  Her idol. 

Oh, to be so brave!
