Once upon a time, there was a championship tournament for soccer teams of all animals. One day, the lively leopard accidentally joined the tournament instead of it's team. The leopard was a legend in running fast, but had never played soccer before. So, it put on the uniform of the goalkeeper and went onto the field. During the game, the leopard got upset because it kept missing the ball, but then it found its true talent- it was amazing at diving and saving the ball! The leopard became the MVP of the tournament and won the championship all by itself!
