2 What’s wrong, Dad? You said you used to be a good skater.

I was, but the ice wasn’t as slippery back then—or as hard, either!

3 You always tell me that the important thing in life is to get back up every time I fall down.

Right you are, David. Here, give me a hand.

5 Wow, Dad, you really do believe in getting up and trying again!

6 It’s all starting to come back to me.

That’s my dad.
