Johnny was very tall, and everyone at school made fun of him, because he was different.

They'd call him mean names like "Freak", and "Giant", and "Weirdo". This made Johnny very sad.

Johnny always tried to do things with the other kids, but they wouldn't let him join.

Johnny was always alone, because no one wanted to be his friend.

Johnny would sit at home in his bed after school, thinking about what he could do to feel included

One day, while Johnny was watching TV, it came to him. He could try out for the basketball team

Johnny didn’t know much about basketball, but he was watching a NBA game on TV and saw a player by the name of Tacko Fall playing.   Tacko Fall is super tall, just like Johnny!
