Ethan and the Magic Pump

Courage Pixar style

Ethan, a courageous young boy from Michigan, must overcome obstacles with his insulin pump to save his soccer game. Will he find the courage and wisdom to solve his problem and help his team win?

Ethan loved playing soccer in his suburban Michigan neighborhood. One day, he noticed his insulin pump was acting funny, and it made him worried. " - What if it stops working during the big soccer game tomorrow?" Ethan asked his mom. His mom, knowing how brave Ethan was, said, " - We'll figure it out together, Ethan." But Ethan felt like his whole world was shaking.

The next day, Ethan went to soccer practice, but his pump beeped loudly! " - Oh no," Ethan sighed, feeling nervous. His coach noticed and asked, " - Is everything okay, Ethan?" Ethan explained the problem, and the coach said, " - Let’s take a break and see what we can do." But Ethan couldn’t stop thinking about the game.

The next morning, Ethan’s pump beeped again and his glucose levels were low. " - I’ll never be able to play like this," he whispered sadly. His little brother Henry gave him a hug, saying, " - You'll figure it out, Ethan!" But Ethan felt like giving up. He was scared and didn’t know what to do next.

Ethan sat on the porch, watching the leaves dance in the wind. " - Maybe I should just skip the game," he thought aloud. His mom came and sat next to him, " - Remember how brave you were when we lived in Germany? You can do this." Ethan thought about all the adventures they had and nodded slowly. But he still felt unsure.

Later, Dad came home and said, " - I talked to your doctor; we have a backup pump!" Ethan's eyes lit up. " - Really? Can I still play?" he asked excitedly. His dad nodded, " - Yes, and we’ll make sure everything is set before the game." Ethan felt a surge of hope and courage returning.

On game day, Ethan felt ready and strong. " - You got this, Ethan!" Henry cheered from the sidelines. Ethan played with all his heart and scored the winning goal! His team lifted him high, chanting, " - Ethan! Ethan!" He learned that courage and asking for help made all the difference.
