Stubs Grows Up, by Paul Davenport
Recording in American English

Fifteen-year-old Jay Stone is good-looking, athletic and he has got lots of friends. There’s just one problem.
Jay’s legs are short, so short that the other kids call him ‘Stubs’.
When Jay gets a surprise place on the school’s American Football team, some of the older members decide to teach him a lesson.
Can Jay ignore their comments about his legs and keep the place on the team?
