Oh, how she wished she could soar through the sky like that! The inventor of the airship, Alberto, invited A?a to ride with him, but she didn? want to be a passenger. She wanted to be the pilot.A?a was just a teenager, and no woman or girl had ever flown before. She didn? let that stop her, though. All she needed was courage and a chance to try.
