Jüll voue une admiration et une confiance sans bornes à son grand-papa, dont il voudrait tant avoir le courage. Lors d'une balade en montagne, la nuit tombe et le garçonnet apeuré éclate en sanglots. Rassurant, son grand-papa le porte jusqu'à la maison et lui confie que lui aussi avait peur lorsqu'il avait son âge. Devant le scepticisme de son petit-fils, qui a peine à croire que son héros a déjà été un enfant, il partage avec lui les souvenirs que renferme son album de photos et lui explique qu'avec le temps, les personnes âgées perdent des forces alors que les enfants en gagnent.
