him. Ahmed accepted their contract and soon had to play his first match. On an international level! The South Hall United worked hard with the coach and finally the long awaited day arrived. The biggest soccer tournament in London had begun. Terry's hard work was proved when South Hall performed extremely well and qualified for the finals. But the bad news was that their opponent team was Aston Villa. To South Hall's disappointment, their main mid-fielder had been injured. But they were helpless as they did not have any extra player .While Ahmed was practising at the new club, a sweeper came to him and asked him about his father's name. After having told him, to his surprise, the old sweepers had tears in his eyes. He told Ahmed about his father that such a great fan of South Hall will never be born again. He also told him that his father used to say that his son will make his dreams a reality by playing for South Hall. That night Ahmed could not sleep as he felt ashamed of himself. He had disappointed his father. The next day, he made a surprising decision. It was the final day between South Hall and Astan. Ahmed decided to play this match as he heard the news of the South Hall's mid-fielder.He rushed for the ground. By the time he was there, the match had started already and the score was one goal each. Ahmed went to Terry and seeked the permission to play. The coach, who knew him well because of his father, allowed him in. The match was about to end and Ahmed finished the watch by scoring a magnificent goal! South Hall won and screamed over with joy. Ahmed was very happy and so was his dad. Since then Ahmed broke the contract with his club and started playing for South Hall United.
"Come to the edge", he said. They said, "We are afraid". "Come to the edge", he said. They came. He pushed them ... and they flew. ~ Guillauame Apollinaire ~
