Santiago loved playing soccer more than anything else. His biggest dream was to meet Leo Messi, the greatest player in the world. One sunny day, he heard a rumor that Messi was visiting a park in Rosario. Santi's heart raced with excitement and courage. " - I have to find him and play soccer together!" he told his dad, Pablo. But how could he ever get close enough to talk to Messi?
Santi and Pablo arrived at the park, but it was crowded with people hoping to see Messi. " - How will we ever find him here?" Santi asked his dad, looking worried. They wandered around, but every time they thought they saw him, it was just another fan wearing Messi's jersey. Santi began to feel discouraged. " - Don't give up, Santi," Pablo encouraged him. But the park was so big, and Messi seemed so far away.
After searching for a while, Santi's dad suggested they try the other side of the park. " - Maybe Messi is practicing there," Pablo said hopefully. But when they arrived, all they found was an empty field. " - We’re never going to find him," Santi sighed, feeling his courage waver. They sat down on a bench, Santi's dream seeming out of reach. " - What if Messi left already?" Santi wondered aloud.
Just as Santi was about to give up, he saw a group of kids playing soccer nearby. " - Maybe I should just join them," he thought. But then he hesitated, feeling shy. What if he embarrassed himself in front of them? " - Remember why we're here," Pablo reminded him. Taking a deep breath, Santi approached the group. " - Can I play with you guys?" he asked nervously.
The kids welcomed Santi to join their game, and they kicked the ball back and forth with enthusiasm. But Santi was distracted, still thinking about his dream of meeting Messi. Suddenly, a hush fell over the field as someone approached. " - Look, it's him!" a boy shouted. Santi's heart skipped a beat. Could it really be Messi?
It was indeed Messi, smiling and waving at the children. " - Can I join you?" Messi asked with a friendly grin. Santi's eyes widened with disbelief. " - Of course!" he exclaimed, his excitement returning. As they played, Santi felt his confidence grow. " - You're really good, Santi," Messi complimented him. Santi couldn't believe his ears.
Inspired by Messi's words, Santi played with all his heart. " - This is the best day ever," he thought joyfully. He learned new tricks and felt more courageous than ever. Messi encouraged all the kids, making them feel special. " - You’re all stars," Messi said kindly. Santi realized that courage had brought him to this incredible moment.
As the game ended, Santi thanked Messi for playing with them. " - You showed great courage today," Messi told him. " - Always believe in yourself." Santi's heart swelled with pride. He waved goodbye to Messi, feeling like a champion. That day, Santi learned that courage could make dreams come true. " - I can't wait to tell Margarita!" he said, running to find his sister.
