[after Eric and Milly flew in front of the entire town, Eric flies away, never to be seen again]

Milly:
[narrating] That night, I found out why Eric flew away. Our house was crawling with people who wanted to see Eric Gibb, the boy who could fly. There were scientists and doctors and TV reporters. When they couldn't find Eric, they did tests on me, because I flew with him. They did tests on Uncle Hugo, too, because he was a relative and had the same genes.

But there was one I liked the best.

Mrs. Sherman:
[on TV] Well, Eric always dreamed of flying, so maybe if you wish hard enough and love long enough, anything is possible.

Milly:
[narrating] Mrs. Sherman was right. Eric made us believe that anything is possible if you really try.
