California 1943, Model Airplane

When Paul’s family visited friends, who lived in the country, Paul brought the prized Califon model airplane that he had recently built. He was very proud of his exacting work and excited about the plane’s first flight. Sadly, none of the adults paid attention to either his enthusiasm or the plane. Even so, Paul and the family’s son went into the fields and flew it. They couldn’t believe how high and how far that Califon traveled. Paul was absolutely thrilled – but he was also disappointed that his family was not with him to share his amazement and achievement.
