She will rise to the top like the finest cream. Be the alpha dog even as a female. Win championships or be a leader of business. Hopefully, she will not go into politics, for as we know a rotten apple will spoil the new.

Thank you very much Tom. I hope it won't be politics. Her only passion at the moment is monkey bars, and that doesn't lead to much! Lol. But she is a gifted child so I hope she finds something wonderful to set her heart on.

A great observation at the end. I could connect with her efforts to reach those bars. It helps support the ending that you mention she had a tiring day at school.

She sounds like a little sweetheart. I am so proud of her that she was able to accomplish, jumping on those monkey bars and being able to maintain her grip that's my kind of girl. Patricia.

Thank you very much Patricia. Yes, I was very proud of her too. Strong and determined, also very sweet-natured, and I hope she doesn't change. Such a lovely review, much appreciated.

Well, for one thing, she will have greater stamina and fortitude to press on despite a thousand rejections from agents and publishers than I have.

Nice writing. Good work. And best wishes.

Thank you Wayne! Sometimes I think agents and publishers don't recognise a good thing when they see it. That's what I tell myself anyway! Lol. Cheers.

Thank you Jessi for reviewing. Yes, I am sure I would have given up, and I encouraged her to stop, reminding her that she could try again another time when she wasn't already tired from school. But no. Independent and determined ... and she achieved what she set out to do.

Well, Wendy G from Australia, that was a very sweet story and told in a very clear and understandable way. It reminded me of a fable, which was more popular when I was younger than they are now. And, of course, children are so honest that they teach the best lessons.

Thanks for a warm and wonderful read.
