Aarav The Footballer

Once there was a little young 9-year-old boy named Aarav. He was an honest and hardworking boy. He was active, playful, and smart. He was as fit as a fiddle. He was blessed with medium-sized eyes and long energetic legs. His running speed was as fast as a flash. After all, he was also flexible as he exercised every single day even on a vacation.

Aarav used to live in the neighboring city of the capital of India also known as Gurugram also called Gurgaon. Aarav used to live in a 3-floor modern house. The front yard was covered with flowers emitting a marvelous aroma.

His dream was to be a footballer when he grew up because of the power, wealth, and fame it would give to him. This proves he wanted to be a wealthy man when he grew up.

He asked his father to put him in a football club for two hours per day so that he could start playing football. His father agreed, “OK son. I will search for a football club where you can play for two hours every single day”. Aarav expressed his gratitude, “Thanks Dad you are the best dad in the world”.

Aarav again asked, “By the way when am I going to start my football practice”. His father replied, “Son you will be starting your practice tomorrow which is June 16^th to be exact.” Aarav was on cloud nine and jumped high with exhilaration.

In football practice, he did very well. The coach asked, “How did you play so well?”.  Aarav replied, “Oh it’s just that I practice a lot at home and also I have the passion to be a footballer”. Coach stated, “I see you have a lot of skill in your game so I am sure you will be the future Neymar Junior.” Aarav came there every single day making his game better and better.

One day he accidently bumped into a sharp corner of the wall at home while playing. As soon as he bumped into the corner of the wall he fell and became unconscious.

He woke up in the hospital where he was given a very painful surgery. While surgery was going on his father asked him, “Are you ok?”. Aarav cried, “No Dad it hurts a lot”. When the surgery was over the doctor said, “Don’t send him to football class for a few days”. Aarav was miserable after hearing this. He waited till he became18 years old. He again joined a football academy and worked hard. His hard work earned him a spot at Manchester United Football Club. He became a star and by far the best player.
