Iceflake Street sparkled with soft snow, and every morning the hill at the end of the road seemed just a little taller.

Leo held his sled tightly, dreaming big but feeling scared after falling yesterday. Scarlett encouraged him with bold, magical stories, Miles checked on him gently, and Carson arrived with a new smoother path to try.

Leo worried about falling again, but Scarlett reminded him that falling meant learning, not failing.

Miles promised they would stay close, and Carson suggested trying the gentler trail first.

Leo took a deep breath and moved forward even though his stomach fluttered.

He sat on the sled, Scarlett cheered, Miles stayed beside him, and Carson guided the sled safely.

Leo slid down the hill—slow, steady, and brave.

At the bottom, he beamed proudly, realizing he had done it even if it wasn’t perfect.

Scarlett called it courage, Carson said he could try the next path when ready, and Leo felt trying something new wasn’t as scary as he thought.
