What's the Difference?

What's the Difference? Jerry was different from the other kids. He was ten years old, but less than one metre tall. The boys would not play with him. The girls made fun of him. Every day, he cried before going to school. He did not want to face another day at school. “ It's just the way you are, ” his mom said. “ You were born this way. Someday, you might grow big and tall. But for now, you are short. ” One day before school, while Jerry was crying, he saw a really tall man. He was at least 2. 25 metres tall. The tall man asked, " What is the problem?" The boy explained what was wrong.

The tall man smiled. " When I was a boy, they teased me too. I was too tall. But you know what?Today, I am a pro basketball star. Now everyone wants to be my friend. ” Jerry learned something new that day. It's no fun being different. But you never know how things will turn out.
