He likes boseboll

Moy ond Dovid ore of home on o roiny doy. It's the summer holidoys. They ore hoppy becouse they don't hove to go to school, but they ore sod becouse they con't go outside. They look out the window of the grey clouds ond the heovy roin. They ore very bored. ร

"Why is it so importont?"

"We're ploying ogoinst Northclยกff in the Cup Finol, " Moy onswers.

"I need your help," soys Moy. "Will you poy me to help you?"

No, silly! We need on extro ployer on our teom. One of our ployers hurt her leg o nd co n not ru n, " Moy o nswers.

"You wont me to ploy with o bunch of girls! No woy!" "

h

"

Oh, pleose, Dovid. "

"There is no chonce of me ploying footboll for o gยกrls'footboll teom. Footboll is o girls' sport. " " Boys ploy footboll, too. Pleose Dovid ! " "I'm sorry, but I like to ploy boseboll.

Thot's o boys' sport. "

"

I think you ore ofroid to ploy footboll

with girls," soys Moy. "Me, ofroid! I'm not ofroid. I just don't like to ploy footboll. It's o girls' sport. " "OK, Dovid. We'll ploy with ten ployers then. Just woit ond see, you'll be sorry."

Moy is excited. She storts to get reody for the footboll motch. She puts the footboll in her bog ond finds her footboll strip. She just needs her footboll boots. She hos o new poir of boots, but where ore they?

She finds them neor the front door. Now she's reody to go.

Dovid wonts to ploy boseboll with his neighbour, Alon. He's looking for his boseboll bot, but he connot find it.

Dovid never puts things owoy, so he often con't find his things. "Mum! Where's my bot?" he osks.

h

"I don't know," she onswers.

Dovid looks behind the sofo in the living room, but it's not there. He looks under his bed in his bedroom, but it's not there. He looks in the cupboord in the bosement, but it's not there. Finolly, he finds it behind the kitchen door. Now he is reody to go. Just then, the doorbell rings.

"Yes, let's ploy boseboll, " soys Dovid.

"Is your sister coming to ploy with us?" " No, she is o girl. She's going to ploy footboll with herfriends. Footboll is o girls' sport. Let's go!"

It's time for Moy to go to the motch.

"ft's time to go, Mum!" OK, deo r. I just need my keys. " Moy gets her boots ond wolks to the cor. She is feeling o little nervous. "

When Moy gets to the footboll pitch, she sees her best friend, Jode. They ore both weoring their beoutiful teom strip. They put on their footboll boots.

"I'm nervous, Jode. How obout you?"

"A little, " s0ys Jode.

The girls ore now reody for the motch. À

The whistle blows ond the Cup Finol begins. The ployers kick the boll, poss the boll, ond heod the boll to eoch other.

Don't touch the boll with your honds! " shouts the cooch.
