Matthew was so sad that his eyes wanted to cry. "Being short is a big problem," he said to his grandmother. Grandma Ruth gave him a big hug. Then she told him the story of a man in the Bible who had the same problem as Matthew. His name was Zacchaeus. "Being short helped him to meet the best Friend in all the world," she said. "How'd that happen?" Matthew asked. "Zacchaeus was a very rich man. One day he was collecting tax money...he decided he needed to grow tall real quick!" Read "Short People Need Tall Trees" and learn what strange and wonderful things happened to Zacchaeus because he was short.
