It's Father's Day, and Martin is excited to surprise his dad, Daniel, with a day at the rink. He dreams of scoring a big goal to impress his dad. But there's a problem: Martin has never skated before! He worries he might fall and embarrass himself. He wants to be the best hockey player for his dad.
Martin pulls on his skates, but they feel wobbly. He takes his first steps onto the ice and immediately slips. " - Whoa! This is harder than I thought," Martin giggles nervously. Daniel skates over, " - Don't worry, buddy, we'll get the hang of it together." Martin clings to the edge, feeling unsure.
With some practice, Martin lets go of the edge. But soon, he falls flat on his bottom. " - Ouch, that was a big one," he laughs, trying to be brave. He watches other kids skating fast and feels discouraged. " - I'm not good at this," Martin sighs, feeling ready to give up.
Martin sits on the bench, feeling defeated. " - Maybe hockey isn't for me," he says sadly. Daniel sits beside him, " - It's okay to fall, Martin. It's part of learning." Martin thinks about how much he wanted to score a goal. " - But I really wanted to make you proud," he whispers.
Daniel smiles and shares a secret trick. " - Here, let's try again," he encourages. He shows Martin how to bend his knees and keep his balance. Martin takes a deep breath and tries once more. " - I'm doing it, Dad!" he shouts, gliding a little further. His confidence slowly returns.
Finally, Martin gets the puck and skates toward the goal. He swings his stick and scores! " - I did it! I scored!" he cheers, jumping up and down. Daniel lifts him high, " - I'm so proud of you, Martin." They've conquered the rink together. Martin's heart is full of joy and pride.
