Little man, big man
(Photo: E Pape) - Actually, both of these teenagers jumped on a rickety boat with dozens of other people in Senegal and they rode the dangerous high seas for about a week, running out of food and surviving a broken Global Positioning Device to make it to the Spanish Island of Tenerife on the Atlantic Ocean. There, because they are minors -- the little boy was 13 when he arrived -- they became charges of the Spanish state. They should normally stay at the youth detention center until they are 18. The taller kid is a basketball prospect who risked his life to reach Spain in the hopes of becoming a professional basketball player. He is two meters tall.
