"Don’t Look Down -Walking Off the Edge-“

"Sugar and Spies" is a 1966 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon featuring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. In this short, Wile E. Coyote discovers a spy kit and attempts to use its gadgets to catch the Road Runner—but, as always, he fails.

One of the scenes is about sleeping gas. Coyote tries to put the Road Runner to sleep by spraying the gas, but the Road Runner blows it back with a puff of air. Coyote inhales the gas himself and begins sleepwalking. While unconscious, he kept walking—even after stepping off the edge of the cliff—as though gravity had no effect on him. He only realizes he's floating in the air when a strategically placed alarm clock—set by the Road Runner—wakes him up. At that moment, gravity takes over and he falls.

A student, inspired by this scene, developed a can-do attitude. She said,
"Until Coyote looked down, he didn’t fall—even though he had walked off a cliff. So I decided I must never look down in life."
