Glad you could join us for the next over-nighted episode of Elliot’s Adventures. If you’re new here, you can catch up by returning to the beginning, and reading really fast…
Teddy had given up trying to fly as soon as Janesse vanished beyond the trees. “Daddy, is Prince Elliot going to the war?”
“Yes, he is.”
“Why?”
“King Arnie needs him there.”
“Is he scared?”
“Probably. At least a little.”
Darwin stopped jumping and scrunched his face in puzzlement. “He can’t be scared. My mom says everybody in the war is brave.”
“She’s right,” Randall confirmed. “But she knows wars are scary and everyone who goes is scared but they go anyway. That’s how she knows they’re brave.”
“Why would they go if they’re scared?” his son asked. “They might get hurt.”
“They might get dead, too,” Darwin said gleefully, “but everybody would know they were cowards if they didn’t go.”
