His mother took him to see the famous showman, P. T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum thought a small person would be the pe

41、rfect addition to his show. He hired Charles parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name, General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up grea

42、t interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people.

45、oing to live in Toms house in Connecticut.Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war.

Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives.

52、馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children.
