When Jayce Crowder was in kindergarten，he began noticing that he looked different from his classmates.They had two hands.But he had only one.
It started when one boy teased him.Jayce was in a bad mood.He'd return home in Des Moines，Iowa，with questions：Why am I different？Why me？Why？“He actually told us that he was mad at looking so different from others，”said his mother，Cortney Lewis.“That really hurt him.”
Lewis admitted she didn't know what to do at that point.How could she offer answers to her son's questions when she had never found those answers herself
A few weeks later，Lewis came home from her job and turned on the TV to a news story about Trashaun Willis，an eighth grader from Washington，Iowa.The boy，then 14，had become an Internet star after posting videos of his slam dunks (扣篮)，and，like Jayce，he was missing most of his left arm.Lewis called Jayce in.He was shocked，staring at one slam dunk after another.
At the time，it seemed that meeting Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce —he'd see a shining role model with a seemingly similar born disability.And had it stayed just that，Lewis would have been happy.But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to the Des Moines Register，asking the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to build Jayce's confidence.
“It reassured me，” said Lewis.“I know in my heart that everything's going to be OK.Trashaun has grown up to be a wonderful kid.And I know Jayce is too.”
Trashaun did get serious with Jayce.Finally，the boys met at Washington Middle School on a Saturday afternoon a couple of months later，in April 2017，and they instantly bonded.
Paragraph 1：
The day was not spent on self pity — it was really fun and unforgettable.________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
