I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.“Mom，come here！There's this lady here my size！”

     The mother rushed to her son；then she turned to me to say sorry to me.

     I smiled and told her，“It's OK.”Then I talked to the boy，“Hi，I'm Dory Kramer. How are you？”

     He studied me from head to toe，and asked，“Are you a little mommy？”

“Yes，I have a son,” I answered.

    “Why are you so little?”he asked.

    “It's the way I was born,” I said.“Some people are little. Some are tall. I'm just not going to grow any bigger.”After I answered his other questions，I shook the boy's hand and left.

     My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.

     It takes only one glance( 一瞥) to see I’m different. I stand three feet nine inches tall(=1.14 metres).I was born a dwarf．In spite of this，I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.

     I didn't realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids called me names (辱骂).Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year.

     But I learned to smile and face the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. What I lacked in height，I made up for in personality. When people are rude，I remind myself，“Look what else I have－a great family，nice friends.”
