| When I was a junior high school student
, I played on the basketball team . Betty
was on the same team . She played very well,
and I wanted to become a good player like
her . |
| Every Sunday , I practiced with my father
in the park near my house . When he was in
high school , he was the best player on his
team . He often said to me , "You are
getting better, Kate ." I enjoyed practicing
with him . |
| One Saturday afternoon , our team had a
game . Betty and I passed the ball to each
other , and both of us did very well . I
got more *points than Betty in the game . Everyone
came to me and said , "You are great
, Kate . You got twenty points !" I
was very happy . I began to get *attention . |
| In the next game , Betty did not pass the
ball to me . (1)I did not know why . But maybe she did not like me because I
was getting attention . At first I was sad
, but after some time I became angry . |
| When I got home , I talked with my father
at the kitchen table . I said to him , "I
don't want to pass the ball to Betty . She
has stopped passing the ball to me . Maybe
she doesn't want me to get points ."
After a long talk , he said to me , "I
understand , Kate . But if you want Betty
to be good to you , you should be good to
her . Pass the ball to her when she is in
a good *position . She will get points . She will
be glad . Then you will be able to share good
feelings with her . (2)You should do that first . Then see what happens next ." I could
not understand his *advice . |
| The next game came . It was in October
. My father came to watch the game . Before
the game , I thought , "I won't pass
the ball to Betty ." The game started
. When I caught the ball , I heard my father's
*voice , "Pass her the ball !" But
I did not . Betty and I did not pass the
ball to each other . There was no *teamwork . It was very hard for us to get
points . |
| We had only five minutes before the end
of the game . We were going to *lose . I knew what I should do to get points
. But I did not do that . When I caught the
ball , I heard my father's voice again ,
"Pass her the ball !" I still did
not want to pass the ball to Betty . But
near the end of the game , I finally passed
the ball to her because I wanted to win .
She was surprised . Then she *shot and got two points . After that , I
started to pass the ball to her . She got
more points . The game became exciting .
We won the game . |
| Betty and I went home together . I said
to her , "You did a very good job ,
Betty . I'm really happy ." She smiled
and only said , "Thank you , Kate ."
Maybe she wanted to say something more ,
but she said nothing . |
| When I got home , I found my father in
the garden . I said to him , "Thank
you , Father . Now I think I understand your
advice ." He said , "I'm very happy
to hear that , Kate . You had an exciting
game today ." |
| After that game , Betty began to pass the
ball to me . I also passed the ball to her
. By passing the ball to each other , we
got more points than before . We won most
of the games . Our teamwork and our *friendship got stronger . |
