Halley’s Comet was rapidly approaching earth and could’ve potentially caused major damage. In response, the President created an ad in the newspaper in order to get help from Davy Crockett. Davy had no idea about the comet, much less the ad in the newspaper from the President, until Sally Sugartree told him about it. Once he knew, he rushed to meet with the President and ultimately defeated Halley’s Comet. By the end of the story, Davy saved the world and was rewarded, which teaches us that acts of bravery may lead to honor.
