The Joy of Living
Read the Following:
We all love games and sports. We watch them in the field, in the tracks and in the television sports programmes. These are some of the expressions that you may heard.
a) With the last bit of strength, Smita ran to the finish line.
b) Throw the ring to her.
c) She hit the ball over the net.
Read the following story about a boy named Tarun :
Tarun slowly took his football boots off. He was thinking of the next day's match. The inter-school matches were going on. Tarun's team had practised well. He was going to make sure he played well. He would be playing for Team A against Team B of the neighbouring school. He thought, "Tomorrow's match will be the most important one for Team A".
On the following day at 3 pm., Tarun and his team, went to the football ground. Team B was already there. Their players looked confident. The players of the two teams shook hands. The referees tossed a one-rupee coin and Team B won the toss.
With the kick off by Team B, the match started. It was tougher than what Tarun had imagined. Team B knew that Tarun was the best player of Team A. The players of Team B targeted him from the beginning. They were always around him and stopped him from kicking the ball by force. He was pushed to the ground several times.
The game was getting rough. In the second half, the referee had a tough time controlling Team B. Tarun thought, "I must act fast to score a goal. Time is running out. If this continues we shall lose the match."
He ran very fast and reached the ball. The field was clear now. It was going to be a sure shot. But suddenly Tarun stopped. He did not kick the ball. Both the teams were surprised.
Tarun saw that the referee had not noticed the goalkeeper of Team B lying injured near the goal-post. Tarun signalled to the referee. The referee blew the whistle and stopped the game. Tarun's team members were angry. Why didn't Tarun kick the ball? It was going to be a
sure goal. But the referee told the boys, "What Tarun did was quite right."
Tarun's action seemed to touch the hearts of Team B. In the remaining matches, the players of Team B were very polite to him. Everyone realized that football is not only about scoring goals. There is much more to it that provides the joy of living.
