You and your teacher sat quietly on the warm rock. The wind was soft now, and the sun was starting to go down.
You: The sky looks like fire!
Teacher: Yes, desert sunsets are beautiful. After a strong fight, peace is important too.
You: I never knew a fight could feel calm after.
Teacher: That's the way of a martial artist. We fight with control, not anger.
You looked down at the sand where your footprints were.
You: Teacher, were you ever a beginner like me?
Teacher: Of course. Everyone starts at the beginning. I fell many times. I made mistakes.
You: You? But you're so fast and strong!
Teacher: That's because I kept going. I never gave up.
You: I want to be like that. I want to be strong but kind.
Teacher: And you will be. You already show courage and respect. That is real strength.
You smiled. Then, you stood up and stretched.
You: Teacher, what if I was in a real fight one day?
