It was a cold, snowy evening. Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination— the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He's been walking the neighbor's dog ever since then to earn money to realize his little dream. He was so excited and hardly noticing the world around him. Maybe that's why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the sidewalk, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination.
Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more— all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.
"You like these, true believer?"
Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. "Y-yes ... Yes, they're awesome!" answered Tommy. "They're strong and fast and help other people a lot..." the boy looked at figurines in admiration. "I wish I could be a superhero too."
"Then become one!" said the old man.
"How?" Tommy asked in surprise. "I don't have any superpowers."
"And why would you need them?" the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. "Did you know, that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She's been working hard and taking care of him for years. I've never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person—" he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. "He's a firefighter; he's saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be."
The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. "You don't need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart."

Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely.
The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time.
