The Big Game

Jake was also part of his school's soccer team. The championship game was coming up, and he was nervous. He wasn't the best player, but he wanted to help his team win.

The day of the game arrived. The crowd cheered as the match began. Jake's team was down by one point with a minute left.

Then, the ball rolled toward him.

"Shoot, Jake!" Noah shouted.

Jake took a deep breath, aimed, and kicked.

The ball soared through the air—right into the net.

"GOAL!" the announcer shouted. The crowd roared.

Jake's team won, and he was lifted onto his teammates' shoulders. He beamed with pride.
