Elephants are big，but Teensy was the smallest of them.Teensy tried everything she could think of to help herself grow.She put her legs out straight.She ate a lot.However，nothing seemed to 1.
One day Teensy went with the elephants to have lunch.They stopped in front of some trees and found their favourite green leaves.Teensy raised her nose and tried again and again.but she couldn't 2the branches.Not even the low ones!
At the end of the day，Teensy was with the rest of the elephants watching the 3.But Teensy couldn't see very much."Excuse me，"said Teensy politely，"I'd like to see more than your knees，if you please."But the elephants didn't hear little Teensy.They were too 4 enjoying the sunset.Teensy sat down and waited 5for them to finish admiring the sunset.She knew she was too little to walk away by herself，so she sat and6 what the sunset must look like."Oh，I guess it is too pretty for words!"she sighed.Teensy was very sad."Oh，woe is me."she said.Suddenly，Teensy heard a tiny voice."What is woe？"the voice said.Teensy looked down and saw a mouse."Woe means 7"said Teensy.She told the mouse about seeing only elephant 8 instead of the sunset.
"I'm too little，"she said.
"Why？You're not little at all，"said the mouse.
"Do you think so？"replied Teensy，"I'm sorry you're so small.I know how it feels.""Don't be sorry，"said the mouse."I like being small!I can always fit into corners.
"Wow，"said Teensy，"so being9CAN be good."
"You're right.Little or big，you should always be10 of who you are."said the mouse.
