Timmy is a little boy about to turn five years old; he is a child with quite an imagination. Because he has had a number of overblown touchy experiences outside, he builds up a terrible fear of the 'great outdoors' and everything that it involves. Lying in his bed on the night before his birthday Timmy does some self-reflecting about his age and his state of maturity. Coincidentally a shooting star goes by and Timmy makes a wish. He falls asleep, having a wonderful fearless dream. Upon waking he believes his life may have taken a turn for the better and he may possibly now be brave instead of his usual timid self. Could he be ready to conquer that big world outside now that he has turned the great big age of five?
