Zero
(Book)

Zero was a big round number. When she looked at herself, she just saw a hole--right in her center. Every day she watched the other numbers line up to count. She wanted to count too! But how could a number worth nothing become something? She tries to force herself into the shape of the much-admired One, even Eight and Nine, but must finally accept that she can only be Zero-- and that Zero is a wonderful thing to be!
