What makes a man a hero? What makes a
woman a heroine? Heroes and heroines are people who
do something brave or good. They do not run away from
danger. They help people. They put other people first.

Lastly, we meet Pocahontas. Pocahontas lived in America
hundreds of years ago. She made friends with the first
English people who came to America. She saved their
lives again ... and again.
