我最好的朋友凯西是二年级最高的孩子之一。她的腿太长了。她走路时，我得慢跑才能跟上她。

我曾经试着让自己长得更高。我挂在树上伸展四肢。

我吃了所有的蔬菜。但我觉得似乎都不长。

Being small has it perks.mom said.I doubted it. 

小有好处。妈妈说。我对此表示怀疑。

One day, Mrs. Alvarez told the class that we'd be putting on a spring play.I was thrilled. the next day she told my i was the prefect size to play the elf.

有一天，阿尔瓦雷斯太太告诉全班同学，我们要上演一出春剧。我很激动。第二天，她告诉我，我是扮演精灵的完美身材。

I don't want to be in the play anymore I told mom." you didn't get the part you wanted.but you love acting" mom said." I 'll bet you'll be the best elf in the play" .she added. That won't be hard to do.i thought. I am the only elf in the play.

我告诉妈妈，我不想再演下去了。

“你没有得到你想要的角色。但是你喜欢表演。”妈妈说。“我打赌你会是剧中最好的精灵，”她补充道。这并不难做到。我想。我是剧中唯一的精灵。

在剧中的最后一幕。主人公在激昂的蘑菇下找到了一个盒子。当她打开的时候。一只狗跳了出来。阿尔瓦雷斯太太的狗。王子扮演狗的角色。她带他参加了所有的排练。他喜欢所有的孩子。但他似乎最喜欢我。

The night of the show.Prince  jumped out as planned.he jumped intothe giant mushroom.though, which fell over.then he leaped off the stage and disappeared underneath it.

演出当晚。王子按计划跳了出来。他跳进了巨大的蘑菇里。不过，它倒了。然后他跳下舞台，消失在台下。

Mrs.Alvarez called him.but he whimpered and wouldn't come out. "how are we going to get him out of there"Mrs. Alvarez asked.

阿尔瓦雷斯太太打电话给他。但他呜咽着不肯出来。“我们怎么才能把他弄出来呢？”阿尔瓦雷斯太太问道。

"I'm small  enough to get him." I said. I crawled under the stage through the dust and the cobwebs until i reached him. Prince licked my face. 

“我小到可以抓住他。”我说。我在舞台下穿过灰尘和蜘蛛网，一直爬到他跟前。王子舔了我的脸。

When we came out.the audience clapped and cheered. In face, we got more applause than the stars at the end of the show. my parents were proud and so was i. after that, I stopped worrying so much about my size.in fact,i decided that mom was right.being small has its perks.

当我们出来的时候。观众鼓掌欢呼。从表面上看，我们在节目结束时得到了比明星们更多的掌声。我父母很自豪，我也很自豪。从那以后，我不再那么担心自己的身材了。事实上，我认为妈妈是对的。小有好处。
