In a quiet little village, there lived a boy named Rehan. He had a big dream—to build his own airplane one day. People laughed and teased him, saying, “You plow fields, how will you fly a plane?”

But Rehan didn’t give up. He went to school by day, and at night, he read books about machines and mechanics. Sometimes, he would break old radios and toy cars just to learn how they worked.

One day, he found an old bicycle engine. With the help of his friends, he built a small glider using scrap parts. They even made a tiny runway near the fields. When everything was ready, the villagers gathered to watch.

Rehan took a deep breath, started the engine, and pushed the glider forward. After a few meters, the glider lifted off the ground. Everyone watched in awe as Rehan flew a few feet above the field. It wasn’t much, but to him, it was everything.

That little flight brought tears to many eyes. Today, Rehan is a well-known aerospace engineer. But for him, that first flight from a village runway was his real takeoff.
