I Like To Play Tennis
Ryan, a determined young boy with a passion for tennis, finds himself struggling with sportsmanship on the court. As he faces obstacles and learns valuable lessons, he discovers the true wisdom behind playing with heart and humility.
Ryan loved playing tennis more than anything. One day, while practicing his serves, he felt frustrated. " - Why can't I hit the ball right?" Ryan asked himself. His serves were always too short or too long. Ryan knew he needed help, but he wasn't sure where to start.
During a practice match, Ryan faced his first obstacle. He kept missing the ball, and his friend Max was winning every point. " - This is so hard!" Ryan said to Max. Max replied, " - Don't worry, you'll get better with practice." But Ryan was not convinced.
The next day, Ryan faced even more challenges. He tripped over his shoelaces and fell on the court. Then, his racket strings snapped during a crucial serve. " - Why does everything keep going wrong?" Ryan wondered aloud. Each failure made Ryan feel like the treasure of winning was slipping further away.
Ryan sat on the court, feeling like giving up. He thought maybe tennis wasn't meant for him. " - Maybe I should just quit," Ryan said to himself. But deep down, he knew he loved the game too much. It was hard to let go of something he cared about so deeply.
Just then, an older player approached Ryan with a kind smile. " - You know, Ryan," the player said, " - Tennis is not just about winning but learning." The player showed Ryan how to pray and ask for patience and wisdom. Ryan felt a new determination within him.
With newfound wisdom, Ryan returned to the court, ready to try again. He played with more patience and focus, and slowly, his game improved. " - I did it!" Ryan exclaimed as he finally won a point. He realized that true wisdom in tennis was about perseverance and humility.
