 Dave was little, he was really little.  All the kids made fun of his size and his dreams.  He wanted to be a professional athlete and maybe play on one of his Boston teams someday. His grandfather was always there with support and words of advice.  When he was twelve, he started running.  Twelve miles on his 12th birthday, 13 on his 13th birthday and he kept going.  When he was 17, he decided to run the Boston marathon -- 26.2 miles!  I wonder if he could ever run that far. What do you think?
