“A Little News”

A man from Nepal is traveling to Europe to petition to be named the world’s shortest man. He is 18 year’s old and only 22 inches tall. Experts say his chances are small.

Doctors in Nepal have reportedly been unable to explain why he is so small. Doctors in every other country, however, say it’s because he hasn’t grown.

The man wants the title and to be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records, but even more than that he says, “I wants me pot of gold.”

Even if he gets the official world record and fame that goes with it, he will likely return to his regular job, working in Santa’s workshop.

Maybe you never knew about this man from Katmandu before, or about his story, but now you feel close to him. If so, for you, the world just got a little smaller.
