Story 24. I Can Do It!
It was Saturday morning and Adam had just gotten his first real bike.
I can't do it!
Adam sat down on the ground next to his bike.
You can, said his dad.
Maybe not the first time you try, or even the second time.
The most important thing is to believe in yourself.
But I can't!
Adam stormed into the house.
Learning to ride a two-wheeler was just too hard.
The next day, Adam's new bike was up in the rafters of the garage.
Hey, Dad!
What's my bike doing up there?
Since you can't ride it, I thought I would move it out of the way.
Adam didn't like seeing his bike put away.
He closed his eyes and tried to picture himself riding it.
Dad, I believe I can ride it now!
It took three more tries, but Adam didn't give up.
Before the day was over, he was riding like the wind!
