My Small Hands
Sometimes I’m always wondering why my hands are small. My hands are very small. Compared to others, my hands are the smallest one. My body is small too. Well I can say that I’m such a small person. My hand is not too big, a small hand. What is the purpose of these small hands of mine? Maybe there is one purpose, yeah.
