Caillou 想卸下他自行車上的輔助輪，不過，他怎麼樣都學不會。直到他看到妹妹Rosie學習穿鞋，他才明白，原來除了不斷的嘗試之外，時間才是最重要的關鍵，等到他再大一點，等到他準備好的時候，自然就可以不需要再使用輔助輪騎自行車了！小朋友，你會騎自行車嗎？你可以不需要輔助輪嗎？在學習拿掉輔助輪騎車，是需要時間的，如果你一直都學不會也沒有關係，再給自己一點時間，等你準備好了，你會發現有一天，你可以很快就學會不使用輔助輪，因為你長大了！

It was a beautiful day, and everyone was outside.
“Hi, Caillou. Do you want to go for a bike ride?”
Sarah asked, riding up on her bicycle.
“Can I go, Daddy?” Caillou asked.
“Sure. I’ll come along, too,” Daddy said.

Caillou was trailing behind.
Daddy and Sarah were much faster.
Caillou was upset that his training wheels were slowing him down.
“Daddy, can I try riding without my extra wheels like Sarah?” Caillou asked.

“Are you sure you’re ready to take your training wheels off?”
“I want to try. Please, Daddy,” Caillou said.
“I rode my bike with training wheels for a long time, Caillou. I only took them off a little while ago,” Sarah said.
“I don’t need extra wheels,” Caillou said.

“All right, let’s give it a try. You’re going to have to practice and be patient. Switching to two wheels isn’t easy,” Daddy said.
“Can we go home and take them off right now?” Caillou asked.
“Sure, let’s go,” Daddy replied.

Back at home, Daddy removed the training wheels from Caillou’s bicycle.
“You can do it, Caillou,” Sarah cheered.
“Go, Caillou!” Mommy said.
“Yay!” Rosie cried.

“Whoa! Daddy, Don’t let go!” Caillou said. 
Caillou and Daddy went around and around the driveway.
Daddy was always holding on to the back of Caillou’s bicycle.

“Phew! Let’s rest a while,” Daddy said.
“I’m not tired, Daddy. Mommy, watch this!” Caillou called out and took off on his own.
Caillou wobbled and wobbled.
He just didn’t understand why he couldn’t keep his balance on two wheels.
“I think my bike is getting tired,” he said, taking a break.

Later, Mommy said: “Caillou, Rosie needs to change her shoes. Can you help her, please?” 
“No, I do it, Caillou,” Rosie said.
“That’s the wrong foot, Rosie. Let me help you,” Caillou said.

“Riding without training wheels is hard, isn’t it?” Daddy asked.
“Why can’t I do it?” Caillou cried.
“Maybe you’re just not ready yet,” Daddy suggested.
“Like Rosie with her shoes?” Caillou asked.
“Yes. Someday she’ll be able to put on her shoes by herself, and you’ll be riding that bike all over the neighborhood, you’ll see,” Daddy assured Caillou.

“Maybe I should keep the extra wheels on for a little while longer,” Caillou said.
“I think that’s a good idea, because you know what? There’s a right time for everything,” Daddy said.
“Hi, Caillou!” Sarah said.
“Want to go for a bike ride?”

“I can’t go as fast as you,” Caillou replied.
“That’s okay, this time I’m not on my bike. I’m just learning to rollerblade, so don’t go too fast!”
“Don’t worry, Sarah. I won’t!” Caillou said.
