Film Transcript / Subtitles

I was busy working on my car when my young son came and asked for my help. He brought his broken scooter and asked pleadingly if I would fix it. I had told him before that I couldn't fix it, and so told him again. A troubled expression came over his face as he said to me, But Daddy, you haven't even tried yet. How could a father resist such an appeal? So I set to work. Later, to my surprise, I discovered that I had been able to fix the scooter. I've wondered how often we excuse ourselves from attempting a difficult assignment or taking on a new step in faith by saying, I can't, when the truth is, we haven't even tried yet.
