A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted
through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting
a ball and bat:
"I'm the greatest batter in the world," he announced.
Then, he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed.
"Strike One!" he yelled.
Undaunted, he picked up the ball and said again, "I'm the
greatest hitter in the world!"
He tossed the ball into the air. When it came down he
swung again and missed. "Strike Two!" he cried.
The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat and ball
carefully. He spit on his hands and rubbed them together.
He straightened his cap and said once more, "I'm the
greatest batter in the world!"
Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it.
He missed. "Strike Three!"
"Wow!" he exclaimed. "I'm the greatest pitcher in the world, too!"
