00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:11.370 align:middle line:90%
Here's a poem with Yi-Nan in it.

00:00:11.370 --> 00:00:12.500 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Courage."

00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:15.530 align:middle line:90%


00:00:15.530 --> 00:00:18.190 align:middle line:84%
"So when she was
younger, much younger,

00:00:18.190 --> 00:00:22.540 align:middle line:84%
I'm helping my little
girl slide down the pole

00:00:22.540 --> 00:00:26.200 align:middle line:84%
next to the slide and
bridge construction.

00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:28.990 align:middle line:84%
When a little boy
walks up and says,

00:00:28.990 --> 00:00:33.400 align:middle line:84%
'Why are you helping that young
person do something that's too

00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:34.570 align:middle line:90%
dangerous for her?'

00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:37.120 align:middle line:90%


00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:38.840 align:middle line:84%
'Why do you say
it's too dangerous?'

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:39.850 align:middle line:90%
I say.

00:00:39.850 --> 00:00:42.490 align:middle line:90%
And he says, 'She's too young.'

00:00:42.490 --> 00:00:45.380 align:middle line:90%
And I say, 'How old are you?'

00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:48.850 align:middle line:90%
And he says, 'Four and a half.'

00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:52.390 align:middle line:84%
And I say, 'Well, she's
three and a half.'

00:00:52.390 --> 00:00:53.800 align:middle line:90%
He goes away.

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:55.030 align:middle line:90%
He comes back.

00:00:55.030 --> 00:00:58.060 align:middle line:84%
And he says, 'I'll
show you how it's done,

00:00:58.060 --> 00:01:02.170 align:middle line:84%
and climbs up the ladder
and slides down the pole.'

00:01:02.170 --> 00:01:05.360 align:middle line:90%
Then he says, 'She's too young.

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:11.770 align:middle line:84%
What happens is that when you
get older, you get braver.'

00:01:11.770 --> 00:01:15.730 align:middle line:90%
Then he pauses and looks at me.

00:01:15.730 --> 00:01:19.300 align:middle line:90%
"Are you brave?' 'Brave?'

00:01:19.300 --> 00:01:22.450 align:middle line:90%
I say, looking at him.

00:01:22.450 --> 00:01:24.370 align:middle line:90%
'Are you afraid of Parasite 2?'

00:01:24.370 --> 00:01:25.990 align:middle line:90%
he says.

00:01:25.990 --> 00:01:29.530 align:middle line:90%
And I say, 'What's Parasite 2?'

00:01:29.530 --> 00:01:33.450 align:middle line:84%
And he walks away slowly,
shaking his head."
