3、s. wherever he flew was with a keen eye for detail and the free spirit of his mothers love. his dad, on the other hand, was not a dreamer. bert stone was a hardcore realist. he believed in hard work and sweat. his motto: if you want something, work for it! from the age of 14, michael did just that.
4、he began a very careful training program. he worked out every other day with weightlifting, with some kind of running work on alternate days. the program was carefully monitored by michaels coach, trainer and father. michaels dedication, determination and discipline was a coachs dream. besides being
5、 an honor student and only child, michael stone continued to help his parents with their farm chores. mildred stone, michaels mother, wished he could relax a bit more and be that "free dreaminglittle boy. on one occasion she attempted to talk to him and his father about this, but his dad quickl

12、 the crowd did, too. the silence was deafening. when he heard the singing of some distant birds in flight, he knew it was his time to fly. as he began sprinting down the runway, something felt wonderfully different, yet familiar. the surface below him felt like the country road he used to dream abou
13、t. visions of the golden wheat fields seemed to fill his thoughts. when he took a deep breath, it happened. he began to fly. his take-off was effortless. michael stone was now flying, just like in his childhood dreams. only this time he knew he wasnt dreaming. this was real. everything seemed to be
