Nepal's shortest boy is waiting for word from Guinness World Records, where he has applied to be named the shortest in the world.
Khagendra Thapa Magar, 14, is only 20 inches tall and weighs 10 pounds.
Min Bahadur Thapa, president of the Khagendra Thapa Magar Foundation, said the foundation is expecting to receive a reply from London-based Guinness World Records in the next few days. The foundation was set up to collect funds for the boy.
Unfortunately the Guinness people have declined to put him in the Book, saying that he has to wait four more years until age 18, when he can qualify as the world's smallest man.
His father hopes to raise money by touring the lad around Nepal.
