Once upon a time, there was a young baseball player named Ken who lived in Japan. He played for the local league and had a dream of becoming a champion. One day, Ken was chosen to be a part of the all-star team for the upcoming season. He was so excited! He trained harder than ever to improve his batting average. At the end of the season, Ken broke the league's record for the highest batting average by a rookie. He led his team to the championship game and hit a critical single that won the game. Ken was crowned the league champion and became known as the best rookie in the league's history. The end.
