Fearless

A brother takes his little sister out for a visit to the grandparents for the first time. In order to get to the grandparents house, they have to cross a shallow river with big old step stones - a small child has to jump from one to the other to get to the other side. The brother skips across quite happily and turns around to find that his little sister got stuck right in the middle and now can't go forward, nor can she go back. She is scared and crying.

"Come and get me!" she begs. The brother shouts back, "What's the matter? Are you afraid?" - "Yes," she cries, "I can't move!" The brother thinks for a moment and then says, "You know there is a magical plant on this side. You come and get it and you won't be afraid any more." - "Really?" asks the little girl. "Really," says the brother. The little girl picks up her feet and carefully crosses the rest of the river. She stands before her brother on the safety of the shore, looks up at him.

"Where's that flower?" she asks.
