A second-grader ‘Hamin’ is very timid and fearful. Unlike his other
friends‚ he hesitates and can’t jump over the school wall. During presentation
time‚ he hesitates to confidently raise his hand‚ and even
when his seat is invaded by a classmate‚ he silently bears it.
Nevertheless‚ Hamin strives to achieve small and simple goals in his
daily life bit by bit. With the support of his cheerful mother‚ his friend‚
and the cat he likes‚ he learns the meaning of courage and grows.
