Mr.
Guppy was a very large man. He had a loud voice and a bad temper. He was not a
giant, but he was much bigger than most men.
Life
was not easy for Mr. Guppy. He could seldom find clothes big enough. His feet
were too large for most shoes.
In
buses, trains and planes, he could not stand up straight. The roofs were too
low.
In cars
he could not move his legs. There was not enough room. At home, his bed was too
short. Chairs were always too small.
In fact, wherever he went and whatever he did,
Mr. Guppy had problems because of his size.
These
problems were so bad that Mr. Guppy stayed at home most of the time. Life was
easier at home.
Then one day, a friend said, "You spend
too much time at home. You should go out more. There is a good movie at the
theater."
"I can't sit in theater seats," Mr.
Guppy said. "I'm too big."
"That
is no problem," his friend said. "I'll buy you two tickets. You can
get them at the theater when you go."
The
friend sent money to the theater for two tickets. When the day came, Mr. Guppy
put on his best clothes and went to the theater.
"You
have two tickets for me," he said to the woman in the ticket office. "My
name is Guppy."
"Oh,
yes, Mr. Guppy," the woman said. "Here you are, seats G4 and P12. I'm
sorry, you and your friend can't sit together because we are very full this
evening."
Poor Mr. Guppy. He smiled sadly, walked out of the
theater and went home.
