The Boy Who Used Hormones
Max dreams of becoming Mr. Olympia. However, honesty becomes a challenge as he discovers a shortcut that could bring him quick results. With every obstacle, Max learns the value of truth and hard work. Will he choose the right path?
Max, a 10-year-old boy with preto skin and preto hair, had a big dream. He wanted to become Mr. Olympia, the best bodybuilder in the world. But one day, he discovered something unusual. He found a bottle labeled 'hormones' in his older brother's room. Max wondered if using them would help him achieve his dream faster.
- What are these? Max asked his older brother. His brother looked shocked and said, - Those are hormones, but they are dangerous. You should never use them. Max was confused and curious. What could be so dangerous about something that could help him become stronger?
Max decided to ignore his brother's warning and tried using the hormones. At first, he felt stronger and more energetic. But soon, he faced his first obstacle. He started feeling dizzy during his workouts. - What's happening to me? Max wondered aloud.
Max's dizziness got worse, and he couldn't concentrate in school. His grades started to drop, and his teacher noticed. - Max, is everything okay? she asked. Max didn't know what to say. He was ashamed to admit what he had done.
Max's friends noticed he was acting differently too. - Why don't you come play soccer with us anymore? they asked. Max didn't want to tell them about the hormones. He felt trapped by his secret and didn't know how to fix things.
One day, Max felt so sick he couldn't get out of bed. His mom took him to the doctor. - Have you been taking any supplements? the doctor asked. Max hesitated but finally told the truth. - Yes, I took hormones. The doctor explained the dangers and told Max he had to stop immediately.
Max felt terrible. He had made a big mistake, and now he was paying the price. - I ruined everything, he thought. He considered giving up on his dream of becoming Mr. Olympia. How could he ever succeed now?
Just when Max was about to give up, his older brother came to talk to him. - Max, we all make mistakes, but we can learn from them. You can still achieve your dream, but you have to do it the right way. Max felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe there was still a chance.
Max decided to listen to his brother's advice. He stopped using the hormones and focused on training the right way. He worked hard every day, even when it was tough. - I can do this, Max told himself. He felt stronger and more confident with each passing day.
Finally, the day of the local bodybuilding competition arrived. Max was nervous but ready. He gave it his all and performed better than he ever had before. When the results were announced, Max couldn't believe it. He had won first place! - I did it! Max cheered.
