    Dusty wanted to be an air racer, to fly in the sky at breathtaking speeds. But, everyone laughed at his dream, even his best friend, Chug.

    Chug tried to console Dusty, 'You're a great crop duster, Dusty. Don't let their laughter get to you.' But Dusty's determination was unshakeable.

    Dusty replied, 'I know I can do it, Chug. I just need to believe in myself.' He decided to train harder than ever before.
