Read the passage. Then, complete the activities that follow.
Because of my diminutive size, opposing soccer players always tease me. They
call me “shorty” and “small fry” almost every day. It doesn’t matter that I’m the
best player on the soccer team; the teasing is nonstop. Their incessant teasing
bothers me so much that I’ve decided to retaliate. Won’t they be surprised when
they can’t find their uniforms!
