Once there was a little boy, who loved toys and loves to play with them all the time.

He met uncle Jim, who works for Boeing and sent a fighting jet pilot video to him. A dream seed started grow in him, he want to be a pilot, flying helicopter, fighter jets, or space ship, as long as the object can fly in the sky.

He called the family car “helicopter”,and the truck ” air plane”, and he was co-pilot when he was in the car or truck.

One day, he asked his mom” Mom, Can you find a mask for me please?”

Mom asked：” What are you going to do with a mask?”

The boy said:” Pilot always wear a mask when they fly a plane, without a mask I can’t be a pilot.”

His mom found a snorkel mask for him, and he was very happy and content. Every time, he would wear his snorkel mask in the car wherever they would go.

One day, the boy and his mom went to library, a librarian was going to read books for kids. Then they would go to beach with their play group friends.

As usual the boy wore his mask all the way to town. At library parking lot, he got out from car with the mask on his face.

His mom asked:” do you want to leave the mask in the car? ”

Very seriously, he said:” No, I’m still flying a plane.”

His mom laughed and confirmed again, ” Are you sure? There are going to be lots of kids and people, they might laugh at you.”

Determined, he said: ” Sure, I’m sure.”

Mom opened the door for him, he walked in very proudly, like he had the coolest costume ever with hundred percent confidence in his heart.

That’s how he appeared in library, and sat with other kids,and listened to the stories. Nobody laughed at him, no kids teased him, only his best friend Lily said:“You are silly.” and sat beside him with sweet smile on her face.

Half hours later, the reading program ended, they headed to beach. As soon as their car parked, the boy took off his snorkel mask.

His mom said: “You know, you can use the mask when you play in the water.”

He answered: ” No, pilot don’t wear their mask when they swim.”

That’s just one of many stories happen to this boy when he was little.
