“We meet no ordinary people in our lives. If you give them a chance, everyone has something amazing to offer.” This anonymous quote can perfectly relate to the theme of the story called “The Girl Who Was Born WIth Only Two Arms and Two Legs,” by Stuart Baum. In the story, a girl who goes by the name of Quarta feels left out because she only has two arms and two legs, while all of her other classmates have four arms and four legs. Throughout the story, Quarta and some other kids learn to show acceptance in different ways.

Another example is when Quarta had first learned “One-Ball,” (or volleyball). The story states that “this gave Quarta hope that she, too, could be happy even though she, too, only had two arms and two legs.” This means that Quarta was able to give happiness and hope a chance, even if she had two less arms and two less legs than everyone else. She could give herself a chance to be happy, after all those times that people made fun of her and called her a “freak.” These examples can show that Quarta is willing to give anyone and anything a chance, even after something bad had happened before
