Charlie loved playing with his Havanese dog, Bella. One sunny day in Richmond, Virginia, he decided to enter a tennis match. But Charlie had never played tennis before! The thought of losing worried him. " - I really want to win, but I'm scared," Charlie said to Bella.
Charlie went to his first tennis lesson with Mary, his coach. Mary showed him how to swing the racket, but Charlie kept missing the ball. " - This is harder than it looks," Charlie said, feeling frustrated. " - Don't worry, Charlie," Mary encouraged him. " - You just need practice."
During the next lesson, Charlie still struggled. He tried hitting the ball, but it always flew out of bounds. " - I can't do this," Charlie sighed. Bella barked, trying to cheer him up. " - Keep trying, Charlie," Mary urged. " - You are getting better each time."
Feeling hopeless, Charlie sat down with Bella. " - Maybe tennis isn't for me," Charlie said sadly. He thought about giving up on the match. " - What if I embarrass myself?" he wondered aloud. Bella nuzzled him, offering comfort.
Mary noticed Charlie's sadness and shared a secret. " - Even the best players started where you are," she said. " - Wisdom means learning from each try." Charlie listened carefully. " - I'll give it another shot," he decided, feeling hopeful again.
On the day of the match, Charlie felt ready. Bella watched excitedly from the sidelines. " - Let's do this!" Charlie cheered. He swung his racket with newfound confidence. Everyone clapped as he scored his first point against Bella.
