Dedicated to all those who play soccer
One day Larry was playing soccer with his friends, Tom, Charley and Pablo, the score was 5-4, Larry and Pablo were winning. One day Larry's mom noticed that Larry liked soccer so one day she put Larry in a soccer team. It was Larry's first soccer team. Larry wasn't that nervous, but he was still a little bit nervous, because the next day was his practice. That same day Tom told Larry that he was going to be in the same soccer team as him. Now Larry wasn't nervous at all, because he knew that he was always going to be with his friend!
The next day it was Larry's soccer practice, he met Tom in the field . They read that the team practiced for one hour. “That's a lot of practice” whispered Tom. “It sure is” Larry whispered back. Then they ran to the field. There were a lot of kids in the team. Larry and Tom met a new boy in the team, his name was George.
Tom, Larry and George went to Larry's house for dinner. After dinner they went to play soccer , they played soccer for hours until it was time for George to go home . After George went home Larry asked Tom: “ Can you sleep over in my house today?” “I don't know, I'll have to call my mom ” awnsered Tom.
Tom called his mom:
“ Hello , mom, oh, hi mom it is me Tom, can I sleep over at Larry's tonight? OK, mom thank you! Sleep well, bye”
The next day was Larry's soccer game.
When Larry and Tom got to the field they noticed they were going to play against Charley and Pablo ,their two best friends. They went to talk to them.
They promised that if Pablo's or Larry's team wins they will still be friends, and they did a hi-5.
Larry's team won but they where still best friends.
Now they had a new friend!
