School was out for the year and there is nothing to do for summer. All of the kids love to play outside riding bikes, playing hula hoop and swimming. Timmy Tortuga loves to run and play with his good friend Munkee Monkey. For Timmy’s birthday, his parents gave him a soccer ball. They also told him that he was going to play soccer at the local recreation center.
Timmy was so excited! He said “Thank you so much! I love soccer!”
Then he asked “What is soccer?” His dad, Mr. Tortuga, laughed.
“Soccer is a game that you play with this ball. You and the other players play against the other team and try to score a goal,” he explained.
“Oh,” Timmy smiled “that sounds like a lot of fun.”
The following Saturday Timmy and his parents went the recreation center and Timmy started playing soccer with his team mates.
“You can’t touch the ball with your hands unless you are the goalie,” said the team’s coach. “You have to kick the ball and work with your team mates to try to score a goal.”
Every week the team met at the recreation center and practiced. The day finally came and the team played against another team.
“Kick the ball, Timmy,” Mr. and Mrs. Tortuga cheered.
“Block the goal,” Mr. and Mrs. Monkey cheered.
The coach was really proud of all of the players. Everyone played and had a lot of fun. After the game, the players all lined up and shook each others hand in respect.
“Let’s go get an ice cream,” Mr. Tortuga said to Timmy “and if it is ok with Mr. and Mrs. Monkey, Munkee can come along too.”
Timmy ate a bubble gum ice cream and Munkee had a big banana split. Who ever would have thought a monkey would love a banana split?
The End.
