His name was Pezzetino. All the others were big and did daring and wonderful things. He was small and surely must be a little piece of somebody else, he thought. He often wondered whose little piece he could be, and one day he decided to find out.

“Excuse me”, he asked the one who runs, “am I perhaps your little piece?” “How could I possibly run if I had a piece missing?” said the one who runs, somewhat surprised.

“Am I your little piece?” he asked the strong one. “How could I be strong if I had a piece missing?” was the answer.

And when the swimming one came up to the surface, Pezzettino asked him, too. “How could I swim if I had a piece missing?” Answered the swimming one, and he dove back into the deep water!

“You up there!” shouted Pezzettino. “Am I a little piece of yours?” The one on the mountain laughed. “Do you think I could climb mountains if I had a piece missing?”

Pezzettino asked the flying one, too, but the answer was always the same.

Finally, Pezzettino went to the wise-one who lived in a cave. “Wise-One,” he said. “Am I a little piece of yours?” “Do you think I could be wise if I had a piece missing?” answered the wise-one. “I must be someone’s little piece,” Pezzettino cried out. “How can I find out?” “Go to the Island of Wham,” said the wise-one.

Early the next morning Pezzetino took off in his little boat.
![Page 10: Pezzetino (true colors revised with text and pictures)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/548013f5b4af9f96628b4587/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
After a rough trip on the high sea, he arrived wet and tired on the island of Wham.
![Page 11: Pezzetino (true colors revised with text and pictures)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/548013f5b4af9f96628b4587/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How strange! The island was nothing but heaps of pebbles. Not a tree, not a blade of grass, and above all, not a single living creature.
![Page 12: Pezzetino (true colors revised with text and pictures)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/548013f5b4af9f96628b4587/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pezzettino climbed up and down, up and down until finally, exhausted, he tripped, and tumbled down…….
![Page 13: Pezzetino (true colors revised with text and pictures)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/548013f5b4af9f96628b4587/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…and broke into lots of little pieces! The wise-one had been right. Pezettino now knew that he too, like all the others, was made of little pieces. He picked himself up, and when he was sure there was not a single little piece missing, he ran back to the boat.
![Page 14: Pezzetino (true colors revised with text and pictures)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/548013f5b4af9f96628b4587/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
He rowed all night to get home as fast as he could.

All of his friends were waiting for him. “I am myself!” he shouted, full of joy! His friends knew all along that he was himself. Now they saw that Pezzettino knew it, too. And they were all happy with him.
