I woke up really early the next morning. I wanted to try to fly again. Before school. Before Mom and Dad woke up.

I dressed quickly. I walked silently into the kitchen.

“Hey, Jack! You’re up early!” Dad sat at the kitchen table, eating breakfast. “It’s only five a.m.!”

“I—I couldn’t sleep,” I said, shocked to find him there. “What are you doing up?”

“The phone woke me up. It was a guy who said he had an act I had to see—‘ Nelson and His Amazing Needles’.”

“Amazing Needles.” I gulped. “What does this guy do?”

“Well, Nelson is not a guy,” Dad started to explain. “Nelson is a chimpanzee. And his needles are knitting needles. His owner says Nelson can knit a sweater in ten minutes. Sleeves and all.”

A monkey that knits? I let out a long sigh.

Dad sighed, too.

“Well, the phone call wasn’t a total waste. At least I’ll get an early start today,” Dad said, finishing his breakfast.

By the time he left, Mom was out of bed. Too late to try to fly now.

I’ll have to wait till after school. Mom will be at work. Dad won’t be home either. That’s when I’ll fly for Mia, I decided.

I couldn’t wait!
