What will happen to Ikarus now?

When the neighborhood kids saw the policeman yelling at him, they exploded with laughter. Ikarus dropped to the ground.

“Stop!” I cried. “Leave him alone.” And they did.

I called to Ikarus and he sailed closer to me. I told him what someone should have long ago: “Your flying is beautiful.”

For the first time, I saw Ikarus smile. At that moment I forgot about the kids who had laughed at him and me. I was just glad that Ikarus had found his wings again.

“Look at that amazing boy!” I called to all the people on the street as I pointed to my new friend Ikarus swirling through the sky.
