Wendy's World- Everyday Heroes
By Jane Runyon
  

1     "Where are you going?" Wendy called to Tim and Tess.
 
2     "We have to go to the library," answered Tess. "Do you want to go along?"
 
3     "Sure," said Wendy, "let me tell my mom where I am going first."
 
4     When Wendy returned, she could see that Tim and Tess were having a very serious conversation. "What's up?" she asked.
 
5     "We have to write a biography," answered Tim. "It has to be about a hero."
 
6     "We're trying to decide what hero we want to write about," added Tess.
 
7     "We know that a biography tells the story of someone's life," said Tim. "We figure we can find that information in a library."
 
8     "I'd rather be baking cookies with my mom than going to the library," said Tess.
 
9     "Well, maybe you can," said Wendy. "What do you think a hero is?"
 
10     "A hero is a super hero like Spiderman," said Tim.
 
11     "A hero does brave deeds like Princess Leia," said Tess.
