Catch the Spirit!

Wayne L. Bart, Jr.

It was Bucky's second summer in Little League baseball, and he really loved the game. One particular day, however, before practice, he looked unusually sad and quiet. "Why the long face, pal?" his dad asked, "It looks as if you lost your last friend!"

"I just don't seem to be any good at baseball," replied Bucky. "I haven't had a hit all season, and the coach will put me in right field. That's where they put all the crummy players, you know! Besides, we hardly ever win a game, and it just doesn't seem like much fun anymore."

"Come with me. I want to show you something," said Dad. He led Bucky to the front of the large mirror that hung over his dresser. "Look in the mirror and tell me what you see."
