Riley's lip trembled and he tried to wipe away his tears.
He was eight years old and he didn't like the cry, but he couldn't help it.
He said, Mommy, every time we play games, the other boys pick me last.

Raleigh's mother told them, Raleigh has had a hard day.
The other boys have been picking him last for their games.
Raleigh's father put his arm around his son.

He said, I remember how much it hurt when it happened to me.
I think they picked me last because I'm not very good at the games we play, he said.
