This gave Quarta hope that she, too, could be happy even though she, too, only had two arms and two legs.
She watched them more carefully. There was a small group of them playing a game near a net. Four of them
were on one side and four were on another. They were hitting a large ball over the net back and forth.
Incredibly to Quarta, they were hitting the ball with just one
arm! They were jumping, some were jumping pretty high, with
only two legs!
Quarta stared and stared and stared at this game, trying to learn
the rules. These creatures looked so happy and they were
having so much fun! And all with only two legs and two arms!
And, since there was only one ball, it didn’t matter that they only
had two arms.
She decided that she would bring this game to her school.
Her excitement was broken by one of the nastier students yelling, “Hurry up, freak, it's time to go home.”
Normally this would make Quarta sad, but now that she had a game and saw how happy it made these other
two-armed and two-legged creatures, she believed she had a chance to be happy, too.
