Heroes come in all sizes, and you don't have to be a giant hero. You can be a very small hero.

The hero just did it and it was effective. It was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward.

He'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. So little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.
