The importance of being you

Suesan K. C. Oyer

Matthew and Nate are brothers. Matthew is in the second grade and Nate is in the fourth grade. Nate always gets to do things that are fun first. Take football, for example. Nate was already playing on a real football team with uniforms and everything, while Matthew still had to play in the backyard in his playclothes.

One thing Nate didn't have though, was a book of the Bible with the same name as his, and one of Jesus' disciples, too. Matthew always liked it in Sunday School when they read in the Bible from his book of Matthew.

Because there were only a few children in his Christian Science Sunday School, Matthew had to be in a class with the youngest boy. His name was Phillip, and he was only two years old. Nate got to be in a class with boys who were already in junior high school. Matthew thought he must look like a baby to the bigger boys, including Nate.
