During the autumn school fair preparations, Orin jokes that Henry's spiky new haircut looks like a little brush. The nickname spreads until classmates call Henry Brush Captain, and Henry stops helping with the paper-plane wind station he knows best. When the planes keep crashing into the flower bed, Orin realizes his careless joke has pushed Henry's real name aside. Orin rewrites the booth sign, corrects the classmates, apologizes, and helps Henry bring the station back under Henry's own name.
