An old red airplane that was formerly used to give Sunday afternoon rides to kids and families has been retired at the end of the runway to make room for the shiny, new airplanes. The new airplanes are not nice and act like they are better than the little red airplane. But one day, they are surprised to discover that the little, red airplane is very brave and can actually fly higher than they can. This story is a good lesson in not judging others by their outward appearance; the unseen gifts and talents inside someone are far more important and can be surprisingly revealed.
