Dear Nancy,
My name is Mike. I am twelve years old. My friends Tod and Sean are thirteen years
old. They are both tall, but Tod is taller than Sean. They are both shorter than me! Isn’t
that funny? They are older than me, but I am stronger and taller!
My friends and I love the Olympic Games. I am going to be an Olympic champion one
day. I can run very fast. Well, Sean can run faster, but I am younger than Sean. So next
year, I’ll be thirteen, too, and I’ll be faster than anyone.
I want to win a gold medal in the Olympics. Well, perhaps a silver medal. My mom
says nobody is smarter, cuter, taller, stronger, and faster than me. Is she right?
