A
The first time I saw Carlos, I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid.It was Carlos.
"My, you"re tall," he exclaimed. Of course, the class began to laugh.Annoyed, I walked to my seat without a word.
I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest.That would be the last straw.To my relief.Reed was studying and did not seem to be aware of it.I didn"t know why I considered Reed my friend.Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I.
"Take that seat," Mr.McCarthy told the newcomer, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.
Carlos smiled broadly."But I need a couple of dictionaries." Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him.He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.
It was the school election that made me think of Carlos again.Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president."How come?" I kept asking myself."How come this shrimp (虾) who"s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"
So when I met Carlos this morning, I said to him, "It doesn"t seem to bother you — being short, I mean." He looked up at me."Of course I mind being short.But there isn"t anything I can do about it.When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I decided to make the best of it.My motto is — don"t be afraid to be yourself."

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated(愤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don"t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it"s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They"re all for you, Daddy."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
