On a sunny and beautiful day, as the tree in the garden began to bloom, Nir heard his dad's phone ring with a sound that meant something important. His dad's face changed as he looked at the message.
'I need to go to the reserves,' Dad said seriously. 'What are reserves?' asked Nir with a puzzled look.
'Reserves is when I become a superhero and wear my cool green uniform to help the army,' Dad explained with a smile.
Nir felt worried but also proud. 'Does this mean you're a real-life superhero?' he asked.
'Yes, every time I help others and keep our country safe, I'm like a superhero,' Dad chuckled.
The next day, Dad put on his green uniform and hugged Nir tight. 'I'll be back soon, my little hero,' he said.
Every night, Nir looked at the blooming tree and felt happy knowing his dad was out there being a superhero.
