STORY
Marco is an 8-year old kid. He is studying in the 2nd
grade in primary school. Marco has got a lot of toys. He has got racing cars,
he has got Legos, and he has got robots but the most important one for him is
his football. He loves spending all his time playing with that football. His
father bought it for him when he was a baby. One day, Marco goes out to
backyard to play football as usual. But he doesn’t see his ball. He is looking
everywhere but he doesn’t find it. He asks his mother, she says “I don’t know
where it is, honey”. He asks his father but he doesn’t know as well. He decides
to go out and he starts asking every person on the street if they know where
his ball is. He comes across with the Fireman, Ronnie. He asks him “Ronnie, Do
you know where my ball is?” “No, Marco I don’t. I rescue people, I extinguish
fire, how can I know where a ball can be” He replies. Marco thanks him and
keeps going on wandering streets. Then he sees the Dentist, Patty. “I cannot
find my ball, Patty. Do you know where my ball is?” he asks. Patty says “No,
Marco. I’m sorry I don’t know where it is. I take care of people’s teeth, how I
can know where a ball can be.” He thanks patty as well and keeps going. This
time he comes across with his language teacher, Mabel. He asks him if she knows
where his ball is. Mabel replies “I’m sorry; I don’t know where your ball is, Marco.
You know I teach kids language; French, Greek, German. How I can know where a
ball can be. But maybe you can ask Alan, Alan tucker. He may know where your
ball is” He thanks Mabel and keeps going on again. He doesn’t know who Alan is.
When he is thinking about it, he sees the farmer, Peter. He asks him about his
ball too. He tells him that he doesn’t know where his ball is and adds “I deal
with animals, I work in field. How can I know where a ball can be? But If I
were you, I would ask Alan about it”. He has never heard of his name before.
When he sees the tailor, Nigel, he is almost sure that he will also mention
about Alan and he is right. Nigel says” I make t-shirts, jackets, I sew things.
How can I know where a ball can be? But Alan would probably know of it.” This
time, Marco asks him “Do you know where I can find Alan then?” Nigel says Alan
mostly spend his time in football pitch. Marco thanks him and this time he is
looking for the pitch. He finds it and sees that there is a man there. He
approaches him and asks if he knows Alan.
The man says “I am Alan, Alan Tucker, how can I help you?” He tells him the story and Alan tells him
that he may help him about this problem. He goes behind the bench and brings a
ball to Marco and tells him “I don’t know where your ball is. But here, you can
take it and play with it till you find your ball. Don’t worry I am sure that I will
find your ball somehow. I am a footballer, I play football. If anyone in this
town would know where a ball can be, it would be me” Marco thanks Alan for the
ball and goes back home happily.
