When Annie takes a tumble during a track race, she loses her confidence and lets her fear and embarrassment discourage her from racing again. Her friends help to restore her spunk and bolster her determination by sharing heroic tales of gallantry, valor and dauntless spirit. Theseus taking the 'bull by the horns' in The Minotaur' (Greek); Aesop's 'The Brave Mice;' the boldness of legendary archer 'William Tell' (Swiss); and the inspirational poem 'If,' help to convince Annie that the brave only become so through acts of courage. (30 minutes)
