1 “Jordi! Wake up!” Dads voice calls from the hallway, and I sit up quickly. Today is the day! The day that I will finally be a casteller—a castle builder.

2 My city is hosting todays competition. Never before have I been part of the tower. It was so high. And it sometimes fell. I was hesitant to be up there. Today, for the first time in a competition, I will help build the tower!

3 In town, I see that the center of the square is already packed with people. While I am waiting for our turn to compete, my friend Tomeu comes to stand with me. “What if Im not ready  for  this,  Tomeu?”  I ask.  Tomeus  dark  eyes  sparkle  as  he  smiles  at  me.  “We are never ready, Jordi. None of us who compete knows for sure how it will go.” He gestures towards the tower going up in front of us. “Just like these people, you must have faith in others. You must trust those below who lift you up, and you must trust yourself.” Tomeu pats me on the shoulder. “Have focus. Have faith.” I nod to show that I understand. I will do my best to follow his suggestions. Soon, too soon, it is our turn.

4 Dad and several strong men make the base for our tower. Four smaller men create a strong second level. Our tower is growing taller and taller. I watch as Mom climbs nimbly (敏捷地) up. She and my aunt form the fifth level.

5 Then suddenly it is my turn. Tomeu and I will make up the sixth level. Each of the castellers wears a waist belt, and I hold the belts tightly with my bare toes as I climb up. I pass the first two levels without difficulty, but as I go higher, the tower feels less steady. By the time I reach the fifth level, nerves make my hands sweat and my knees tremble, for I am very high off the ground.
