"When playing basketball at recess, a student grabbed rebound after rebound. Two teachers were observing the game, and one commented to the other; do you see that kid get all the rebounds? He's the smallest one playing. The second teacher replied that he does that because he doesn't know he's short." As it turns out, this young boy was new to this elementary school, attending "city school" for the first time from a one-room country school. What excited this young boy was that he was playing with what appeared to be a brand-new basketball. At his country school, the ball was pretty worn out. And he loved playing basketball!
