Perseverance story: When pigs fly

There was once a town where instead of people animals lived. Not far from the town was a meadow where a small bull named Tom lived with his father, mother, and two sisters. Tom was the youngest in the family and was very adventurous by nature. Soon it would be Tom’s birthday and for his birthday he asked his dad to get him a bicycle. His dad looked at him strangely and said, “Tom, you know very well that cows don’t ride bicycles. Have you ever seen a cow ride a bicycle?” A bit confused Tom replied, “Not yet.” The dad thought the matter was settled but he was wrong, Tom kept begging and begging and begging, and every time his dad replied “No.” Then finally one day his dad gave in and said, “Ok Tom, I will buy you a bike, when pigs fly.” Tom thought about his dad’s words hard from then on. Then one day while playing with his friends flying kites he saw a helicopter fly by. He stopped playing and said, “That’s it, I need to learn how to fly a helicopter.” His friend Ned looked at him strangely and asked, “Why do you need to learn to fly a helicopter? You know that cows don’t fly right?” Tom smiled and replied, “Not yet!” Ned looked at him in confusion and Tom explained, “My dad promised me that he would buy me a bicycle when pigs fly.” Ned was now even more confused, “But Tom, pigs don’t fly and cows don’t ride bicycles.” Tom with a smile on his face replied, “Not yet!“
