Anthony's thoughts drifted back to another family hike several years ago. At the foot of the mountain, he'd been as excited as Veronica,
and the two of them had scampered up the trail ahead of Mom and Dad. But several hours later, it was a different story. Trudging up the steep,
rocky trail, Anthony was tired, hot, sweaty, and out of breath: plus, his leg muscles were screaming.
Halfway up the mountain, the family finally stopped for lunch. While his sister chatted happily about climbing to the summit, Anthony
glumly chewed his sandwich. "Hey, buddy," his father said. "We have a decision to make. Do you want to continue hiking to the summit with
Mom and Veronica, or head back down the mountain with me?" Anthony couldn't believe his ears: he had no idea that heading back was a
possibility! Gratefully, he accepted his father's offer.
Everything had worked out fine-or had it? Anthony and his dad had gone swimming in the lake while waiting for the others to return,
and nobody had accused him of chickening out on the hike, but hearing Veronica rave about the summit had made Anthony feel slightly
melancholy about his decision.
Taking a deep breath. Anthony refocused on the task at hand, carefully zipping up his backpack. "That was then," he murmured, "but
this is now."
"Anthony, are you ready?" called Veronica.
"I am now," he shouted back, shouldering his backpack. "Look out mountain, here I come!"
