When little Ricky Diamond turned five, his mother bought him a stick horse that was just his size. Ricky was SO excited! He'd always wanted a stick horse! He jumped on it immediately and wrapped his feet around the stick and away he flew into the air!
Everybody who witnessed Ricky fly by on his stick horse thought it was the coolest thing they had ever seen! Ricky's wings would be pumping the air as fast as could be while his little feet held on firmly to his new stick horse. It was every bird kid's dream!
Then, after only one entire day on the stick horse, Ricky Diamond stopped flying completely. He hopped off his new gift horse, and pushed the stick horse right into the lawn.
Ricky's mom asked, "Why aren't you flying around on your stick horse any more Ricky?" Ricky answered, "Mom! Did you know that stick horses are afraid of heights?"
It turned out that stick horses are only meant to be ridden while on the ground. Ricky Diamond was born to fly!
