1. At sunrise, Amelia stood beside an airplane and studied the wide sky. The horizon looked empty, but it seemed to be waiting.
2. Amelia wanted to fly farther than she had ever flown. She spread out a map and planned each turn.
3. She practiced on clear mornings. She listened to the engine, checked the instruments, and kept her hands steady.
4. Rain tapped the wings, and the clouds covered the hills. Amelia waited, because a brave pilot also knows when to stay on the ground.
5. When the sky cleared, Amelia checked the map again. Her helpers checked the airplane, and together they found a better path.
6. At last, Amelia lifted into the blue. Fields became tiny squares, and rivers curled like silver ribbons below.
7. The miles stretched on. Amelia read her compass, compared it with her map, and kept the empty horizon in front of her.
8. Below her, the sea shone like a long blue road. Amelia flew on, careful and patient, until the far shore appeared.
9. When Amelia landed, people gathered around the airplane. She opened her notebook and showed them how practice had carried her across the sky.
10. Amelia practiced, planned, and flew long distances. Then she encouraged others to try brave paths in the sky.
