This is a story about a boy called Sparky. For Sparky， school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He got a zero in physics. It made him the worst physics student in the school’s history. He didn’t do much better in sports. Although he tried to join the school’s golf team， he quickly lost the only important match.
He didn’t have friends， either. Other kids didn’t care about him. If a classmate said “Hello” to Sparky outside of school， he would feel very surprised.
Sparky was a loser(失败者） and everyone knew it. So he accepted it.
But one thing was important to Sparky---drawing. He was proud of his artwork. In senior high school， he sent some cartoons to the editors of the yearbook but he was refused. Sparky was hurt. But he didn’t lose hope because he believed in his ability and he stuck to drawing. He decided to become a professional artist.
He wrote a letter to the Walt Disney Studios after graduating from high school. The studio asked him to draw some cartoons on a certain subject. Sparky spent a lot of time on the cartoons. Finally， the reply came from Disney Studios: they aren’t like cartoons.
