    There was something peculiar about little Timmy. He was just like any other boy, but with a unique ability: he could fly. Timmy discovered this ability one day when he was playing in his backyard. He jumped off the swing, expecting to land on the ground, but instead, he soared into the sky.

    At first, Timmy was terrified. He tried to get back down but couldn't. It was as if the sky had claimed him. After some struggle, he managed to touch the ground, yet he was confused and amazed.

    They began experimenting in the safety of Timmy's backyard. Timmy would jump off the swing and hover in the air, much to Billy's delight. The more he practiced, the better he got at controlling his flight.

    However, things took a turn when Timmy decided to fly around the neighborhood. He flew too high, got stuck in a tree, and couldn't get down. Luckily, Billy was there to help him.
