Certain things -- big and small -- have an extra bit of "magic" when we first run across them. Glider was one of those, for me.
Not "big" and "dramatic", but slightly magical. Perhaps all the more for its subdued presentation.
P.S. Plenty of monsters and whatnot, about. But a paper airplane? Smile.
I guess, in good part, it was the magic of a perfect whimsy.
