11Lesson 6 A Famous Football Player
Story time
1
Many years ago, there was a
boy from a very poor family. He
liked to play football very much.
But his parents couldn’t buy him a
football. The boy used boxes and
bottles as his footballs.
2
One day, a coach saw him.
He thought that the boy would
be a good player. The coach
gave the boy a football as
a gift. From then on, the boy
played football harder.
123
At Christmas time, the boy wanted
to do something for the kind coach.
He ran to the coach’s home and
dug a hole in front of his house.
The coach asked why. The boy
said, “I can’t buy you a Christmas
gift. But I can dig a hole for your
Christmas tree.”
The coach was happy. He said,
“This is the best Christmas gift.”
4
The coach asked the boy to be
a player on his football team.
In 1958, the 17-year-old boy
and his team won the World
Cup. He was famous around
the world.
5
Do you know who the boy is?
He is Pele — the world famous
football player!

One day, an ant walked by the river. He was thirsty. He went to drink the
water, but fell into the river. “Help! Help!” cried the ant. A bird heard him
and threw the ant a leaf. Then the wind blew the leaf to the bank.
Some days later, the ant saw a man opening his net to catch the bird. He
ran fast to bite the man’s arm. “Ouch!” cried the man and his net fell down.
The bird flew away at once.
The ant was very happy because he helped

Some people were crossing the river in a boat.
One man in the boat had a beautiful sword. He was cleaning it and showing
it to everyone.
But the man wasn’t careful and the sword fell into the river.
80“Oh, no!” the others said. “Your beautiful sword! Let’s stop the boat to find it!”
“Don’t worry!” said the man. “I can wait!”
81“I can find it easily.” He made a mark on the boat with a small knife. “There!
Now I know where my sword is,” he said.
Soon the boat crossed the river and the man stood up.
82“Now I will find my sword,” he said. He looked for his sword under the mark
on the boat, but it was not there. “Where is it?”
“Stupid man!” the others laughed. “Your sword is in the river! The boat
moved, but your sword did not!”

A long time ago, in the north of China, there lived an old man. He was a
farmer. He had many nice horses. His family was happy.
One night, a big black horse ran away from the farm. The old man was
sad.
84His friends came to say how sorry they were. The only thing the old man
said was “What will be, will be.” And he went on with his work.
Months later, some people near the farm saw the black horse coming home
with two beautiful white horses. They told the good news to the old farmer.
He thanked them and said quietly, “What will be, will be.” And he went on
with his work.
85The old man’s son loved the big black horse. He wanted to learn to ride. So,
his father began to teach him. But during the boy’s first lesson, he fell from
the horse and broke his leg. He could not walk well. The boy was sad.
The old farmer’s friends came to say how sad they were. The old man just
said, “What will be, will be.” And he went on with his work.
86A few weeks later, it began to snow. It snowed all day and all night. It was
very cold. The king ordered all the boys from each family to go to catch
fish in the cold river water. The old farmer’s son could not walk, so he didn’t
have to go to the river.
The old man watched the boys working hard in the cold water. He said to
himself, “What will be, will be.” And he went on with his work.

Look at that duckling!
He looks
so strange.
He is big and ugly.
Mother Duck had new babies.
She took them to swim. One baby was big and strange.
Go away!
No one
likes me.
The ducks and the other animals on the farm laughed at him and pushed him
around.
88Don’t worry. I won’t eat
you. You are too ugly.
The ugly duckling met two wild ducks. They laughed at him.
Then a dog came, and he killed the two wild ducks.
Can you catch a mouse?
Can you give eggs?
No, but I
can swim!
A heavy rain began to fall. The ugly duckling was so wet and cold. He ran
and ran. Soon, he arrived at a farm.
89What beautiful birds! I wish
I could be like them.
Soon it was autumn. The ugly duckling was swimming in the river. Some
swans flew over the duckling.
Oh, poor duckling! I’ll
take you home.
It became colder and colder. Finally winter arrived. Early one morning, a
farmer saw the frozen duckling.
90Come and play with us!
No, I don’t
want to play!
Soon the duckling got well. The children wanted to play with the duckling.
But he was afraid.
Wow, I can fly so high!
Look! The ugly
duckling is not a
duck at all. He is a
beautiful swan!
One day, the ugly duckling’s wings became strong. He flew high into the
sky.
