On his way home from school, David always liked to sit on the bench by the counter and look out. Besides, he liked to open the window and breathe fresh air. However, he remembered for a moment about his game that day. One of his classmates told him that what he did that day was amazing. His friends called him a national level player.
It was his biggest dream to play for his country and become like all those great footballers. He was so close to his dream, he felt that the victory was close and he was proud of it especially when he and his team raised the gold championship cup and smiled while taking a photo. At the end of the game, David constantly repeated what he was going to say in front of the cameras and newspapers.
He thanked his mother for his victories. Suddenly a boy approached and asked if he could sit next to him or not. David was so deep in his thoughts that he did not understand what happened, that one of his classmates asked permission to sit next to him. The boy sat next to David, took his backpack and began to share his dream.
He said that he dreams of becoming the best football player in school. He wants to be like David, he was his fan. He wanted to play like him, have lots of friends like him and even wear the fancy football boots that David wore. While saying all that, the boy hid his worn shoes. He was always shy and did not dare to talk about all this, but in the end he overcame it all.
The boy said he would like to have one of David’s shoes. David had been saving money for seven months to buy the pair of shoes he wanted. This was the first time that the 12-year-old child wanted to buy something for himself. And he wanted to do it without disturbing his mother. He also had sisters and his mother was able to provide for all of them.David had saved enough money.
And he did it every morning with a small delivery of the newspaper and selling the lemonade he made on his last vacation.So when that day came, he invited Guillermo to go with him to buy the shoes. Guillermo felt real excitement for his idol. Just then, the bus suddenly hit a pothole and one of Guillermo’s shoes fell to the floor of the bus.
David was surprised when he saw the worn and blackened shoe. It was a pair of thin, shoddy summer shoes.The boy was ashamed. David was excited. There was no way David could go to the store alone. Not after what he had seen.David went to the store and asked them to give him the small size of those shoes. He said it was for his friend.Guillermo was confused.
Then the shop owner approached him, he said that he found out about what the boy did. And since the director was very moved by that move, he gave David new shoes.Such kind deeds should always be appreciated.
