He'd catch a fly ball, he was certain he would, for Daniel Dong thought he was better than good. He heard the pop, the ball soared in the air. I'll catch it, he thought, if I run over there. He leapt, he charged, he ran like a deer, he stopped when he knew the ball was quite near. He took a step back, to be in the right spot, the ball would land in his mitt and be caught. But he tripped, he stumbled, he fell on his side. 011 NO, the ball! ".Oh no," Daniel cried. It plunked down beside him, he heard the crowd groan. I missed it, I blew it, he let out a moan. The bases were loaded, and I'm lying down. He heard someone yell, "Daniel's a clown." —Kim -ran, she-flew,-she--got--a-hemc run! Daniel Dong thought -- baseball is fun??? Daniel got up, he trudged to his base. He pulled his cap down to hide his dumb face. A really mad kid yelled, "ban didn't try!" And Daniel Dong thought, now Daniel, don't cry. I'm clumsy, a klutz, he threw down his mitt. Daniel was having a baseball fit. The bases were loaded, Dan trudged up to bat. He tightened his grip, he lifted his nat. The pitcher pitched, "Strike one," Dan heard. Someone yelled out, "Daniel's a nurd." "Strike two," oh no, I've got one more try. I'll hit it, I'll hit lt, if I don't I will die. The pitcher pitched, Dan swung, he hit! The ball soared in the air, would it land in a He zoomed, he rolled, he made the first base. He charged, he slid, a smile on his face. Second! And third! He got a licime run! "Oh my," he puffed, "baseball He looked in the field and saw a kid throw her mitt on the ground, she looked pretty low. "Kim," he shouted, Kim was his friend, "don't worry, okay? Don't worry a bit. Can't catch??? So what! Can you ever hit." "Right," she yelled, "it's only a game. Besides, Daniel Dong, we're both the same." After the game they weren't mad or sad. They were the same, and that made them glad. (c) 1980 Canada Wide Feature Service Ltd. by MacKay Fairfield Tate inpoor w.._. ' ovember 30 incident..
