The world's smallest teenager?
A teenager is waiting to find out if he's the smallest man in the world.
Fourteen-year-old Khagendra Thapa Magar is only 50cm high, and weighs just 4.5kg, which could be record-breaking.
He's apparently the smallest person in his home country of Nepal, and he's written to Guinness World Records to see if he can claim the world title.
A Guinness spokeswoman said they would decide after looking at all the medical evidence, and were considering flying him to England to be measured.
The current record holder for world's smallest living man is 65cm high Younis Edwan, who lives in Jordan.
'Very tiny'
"He was very tiny when he was born," said Khagendra's mother Dhana Maya Thapa Magar. "It was not possible to bathe him or clean him up because of his size. We had to hold him on our palm," she said.
Khagendra and his family are currently touring Nepal looking for funds to help support him.

When I hear about dwarf men I remember GALIVER stories.and SEFID BARFI and
when I was a child I thought these are not true.and there isn’t any body like this.
but we hear there is.i think it isn’t very important because he is a man like other men. With a little diffrance that he is vey short.but he can do every thing that other people can do.
shohreh yousefi
I hear the shortest person in the world was general Tom Thumb. He was born in 1838 in the U.S. and was only 102 centimeters tall when he died in 1883.
