The Small Girl
Sarah Small was the smallest girl in second grade. She could not reach the water fountain. She felt very sad.
"Wait and see," said Mother. “It's good to be small.”
One day, Sarah and her friends were playing soccer. Sarah was good at soccer. She was so small that she could run through tall people's legs. She had just kicked the ball when she saw something green and white.
There was a five-dollar bill on the other side of the fence, beside a small hole. Sarah's friends were too big to fit through the hole to reach it. But Sarah got down on her hands and knees and slipped through. She picked up the bill from off the ground. Then she told her friends she would buy them all ice cream. "Sometimes, it's good to be small!" she said.
小女孩
莎拉·斯莫尔是二年级最小的女孩。她个子太小了，都够不到饮水机。她感到很难过。

一天，莎拉和她的朋友一起踢足球。莎拉擅长足球。她太小了，能跑过高个子的腿。她刚踢了个球，这时，她看到有什么绿色和白色的东西。
篱笆的另一边是一张五美元的钞票，在一个小洞旁边。莎拉的朋友们太大了，没法从洞里钻进去。但是莎拉跪在地上从小洞滑了过去。她从地上捡起钞票。然后她告诉她的朋友们，她会给他们所有人买冰淇淋。”有时候，小是好事！”她说。
