Mark is the tallest boy on the court, with long arms that would knock Michael's ball away and win the game. One day after the game, Michael comes home very upset. He is ready to give up his dream of being a basketball player because he feels he is too short. He asks his mother how he can grow taller. Find out the secret his mother tells him.
