The Story

On my way home one day,
 I stopped to watch a Little League base ball
game that was being played in a park near my home.
As I sat down behind
the bench on the first-base line,
I asked one of the boys what the score
was. "We're behind 14 to nothing," he answered with a smile.
"Really," I said.
"I have to say you don't look
very discouraged." "Discouraged?",
the boy asked with a puzzled look on his
face... "Why should we be discouraged?
 We haven't been up to bat
yet."
