Why are you so tall?

     There once was a town called Tall Town. Most people in the town were tall. The normal height in that town was considered six feet. It was extremely unusual to be shorter than six feet. However, not all people can be tall. Bob was one of those people. Bob looked like everyone else. The only thing that made Bob different from the rest was his height. He was only five feet tall at the age of 18.

     Bob was constantly being teased for being shorter than everyone in the town. As a result of being teased, Bob became very depressed. This distracted Bob during his years in college. Thus, Bob had failed his school years in college. He then went on to a job as a mechanic barely making the end's meet. Then, came the day that had changed Bob's life forever. Bob was taking a walk to the park.  Suddenly, he had heard a cry from someone's house. Bob ran over to see what was going on. The house was on fire! The man's pet dog was stuck under his house's porch. The dog's paw was tangled up in a plant and could not escape. The porch had a small hole in it from where the dog had entered. However, the man was too tall to go under the porch to save the dog.
       
     Bob who was very short, was able to fit in under the porch. So he went under the porch and untangled the dog. The dog escaped in relief. Bob was not so lucky. Before Bob could get out of the porch, the porch collapsed and burnt Bob's back. Bob screamed in pain. Just then, the ambulance arrived.

     Bob was immediately taken to the hospital. Bob luckily recovered from his burns. However, the collapse of the porch also broke  his back. Bob could no longer walk. At the same time, Bob became a hero who sacrificed himself to save another life. After that, Bob went back to college, despite the fact that he was handicap. This time, he had more self-confidence. He studied hard and passed all his exams. After graduating from college, Bob went on to being a rich neurosurgeon. So, It turns out being short is not such a bad thing after all. What really matters is what you do in life.
