Summary
At this age he still has dreams, like most children do. Sometimes he imagines himself as a hero who fights for justice, like Red Eagle, and runs around the house with a towel for a cape.
“My little hero,” Goro’s mom teases him, as he is posing in the living room to gallant fanfare from the TV. The endearment makes him puff out his chest with pride, grinning from ear to ear—but then she holds up the carrot she’s peeling and continues with a smile, “You know, good heroes eat their vegetables so they can grow big and strong...”
That makes Goro pout. “Then I’ll be the first hero who never ate a vegetable!” he announces, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Oh, really?” His mom laughs, going back to her peeling. “Well, in that case—you can be a hero for now, but I want Goro back in time for dinner, okay?”
Giggling, Goro sticks his tongue out at her playfully.
“If I see Goro, I’ll let him know!” he calls, then dashes off down the hall, “cape” fluttering behind him.
Goro remembers his childhood with his mother.
