On the plane to the arid land of Uruk, Iraq, Mike was complaining to his mom.

“I’m always bullied for my height,” Mike said “Everyone is so mean! I have no friends!”

“Honey,” His mom said, “Your height doesn't matter. Someday, you'll do a great thing!”

Mike sighed. The plane, after crossing Saudi Arabia and much of Iraq’s desert, was now landing.
