Hannah was sitting alone on the swing, watching her peers play and have fun.
Suddenly a strong wind ruffled her hair, the swing creaked and Hannah saw a holla-hoop rolling toward her.
"Do you want to play with me?", asked a girl, "I'm very good with the Hoola-hoop".
Hannah hid her hands and shook her head. She couldn't play.
"No matter that you don't have fingers, I can turn it for you", she smiled.
Hannah looked up in surprise. No one ever spoke of her disability if not for teasing her.
Since that day, Hannah did not feel alone anymore.
