Max, a cheerful boy, lived in a world of superheroes. Dressed in his Spiderman costume, he would spend hours pretending to swing from buildings, saving the world.

His older brother Ethan, a pragmatic boy, would watch Max's antics with a gentle smile, appreciating his younger brother's innocence and boundless imagination.

One sunny afternoon, Max was at the school playground, playing Spiderman, when he overheard some older kids laughing about how superheroes don't exist in real life.

Max was crestfallen. His dreams of becoming a superhero seemed to crumble. He walked home with a heavy heart, his Spiderman costume feeling less vibrant.

Seeing Max upset, Ethan asked him what was wrong. After hearing about the incident at the playground, Ethan gave Max a comforting hug, assuring him that superheroes do exist.

Ethan explained that being a superhero didn't require special powers. It was about doing good deeds and helping others. He reassured Max that he could be a superhero in his own way.

The next day, Ethan took Max to the park. There, he showed him different ways of helping people, like assisting an elderly lady with her groceries or picking up litter.

Max's eyes sparkled as he watched Ethan. The idea of being a real-life superhero by doing good deeds excited him.

From that day, Max started doing small acts of kindness at school. He shared his lunch, helped his classmates, and even stood up against a bully.

Max felt content. Even though he couldn't swing from buildings or have super strength, he realized that helping others gave him a sense of joy and fulfillment.

One evening, as they sat reading comics, Max thanked Ethan for showing him the true meaning of being a superhero.

Ethan gave Max a proud smile. He knew that his little brother had learned a valuable lesson. Even without superpowers, Max was a real hero.
