Once upon a time, there was a group of friends who loved playing soccer. They had all sorts of cleats for different surfaces and were always dribbling the ball. One day, they decided to have a big game and use the field behind their school. The goal was set up and each team was ready to score. But just as the game began, they realized they had forgotten the most important rule: no fouls allowed! The teams agreed to protect each other and play fair. Just when it seemed like the game would end in a tie, one player came up with a brilliant plan. They dribbled past everyone, using all their skills, and kicked the ball straight into the goal! The other team couldn't believe it and the game ended with a big celebration. From that day on, they made sure to follow the rules and have fun, always remembering to protect each other on and off the field.

Reflections

1. Why is it important to play fair in sports?
2. What does "protect each other" mean in the story?
3. How did the player win the game in the end?
4. Why was everyone so happy at the end of the game?
