A Losing Baseball Game

On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was.

‘We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered with a smile.

‘Really,' I said. ‘I have to say you don't look very discouraged.'

‘Discouraged?', the boy asked with a Puzzled look on his face…

‘Why should we be discouraged? We haven't Been up to bat yet.'
