[00:50.21]At five feet six inches,Rosa was taller than every other student in the sixth grade.She worried about this all the time,
[00:58.59]in school and at home.Her mother told her to stand up straight and be proud that she was so tall and slim.
[01:05.62]"Someday,"her mother said,"you'll be happy that you're tall."
[01:09.88]This made Rosa happier,but she was still afraid her classmates were making fun of her behind her back.One day,
[01:17.66]all this changed when Mr Ransom,the coach from the youth club,asked Rosa to play center on their basketball team.
[01:25.45]He said that Roas was a good ball player and her height would make her valuable as center.Now,she really was proud to be tall.

[02:09.57]Mr ANdrews said to him,"Are we going to have rain today,do you think?"
[02:15.34]"No,"said the old gentleman,"I don't think so."
[02:20.46]"Then are you carrying the umbrella to keep the sun off you?"
[02:24.56]"No,the sun is not very hot in spring."
[02:29.08]Mr Andrews looked at the big umbrella again and the gentleman said,
[02:34.46]"I am an old man,and my legs are not very strong,so I realy need a walking stick.
[02:42.59]But when I carry a walking-stick,people say,'Look at that poor old man,'and I don't like that.
