Anna and Ben love to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two cones for the goal. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. Anna is very good at soccer. She can zoom past Ben and shoot the ball into the goal. Ben is not so good at soccer. He tries hard, but he is slow and misses the ball a lot.
One day, they meet a new friend in the park. His name is Sam. He has a red shirt and a big smile. He asks Anna and Ben if he can play soccer with them. They say yes, and they make two teams. Anna and Sam are on one team, and Ben is on the other team. Ben feels sad. He thinks Anna and Sam will win easily, and he will lose.
The game starts. Anna and Sam zoom around the field. They pass the ball to each other and score many goals. Ben runs after them, but he cannot catch them. He feels tired and angry. He wants to score a goal too. He thinks it is not fair.
Then, something happens. Anna kicks the ball too hard, and it flies over the fence. She says, "Oh no! We need the ball to play!" She looks at Sam and Ben. She says, "Who can get the ball back?" Sam shakes his head. He says, "I can't. The fence is too high for me." Anna looks at Ben. She says, "Ben, can you get the ball back? It is very important. We need the ball to play."
Ben looks at the fence. He sees the ball on the other side. He thinks for a moment. He says, "I can try." He runs to the fence. He finds a small hole in the fence. He crawls through the hole. He gets the ball. He crawls back through the hole. He holds the ball in his hands. He feels happy and proud. He says, "I got the ball back!"
Anna and Sam clap their hands. They say, "Well done, Ben! You are awesome! You saved the game!" They hug Ben and smile. Ben smiles too. He says, "Thank you, Anna and Sam. You are my friends. Can we play some more?" They say, "Yes, of course. Let's play some more." They kick the ball and have fun. Ben scores a goal. He zooms around the field. He feels like a star. He thinks soccer is the best game ever.
