Lucas and Dawson were best friends all the time.Dawson learned his new spelling words faster,he was quick to learn addition and subtraction (减法),and he could read aloud quite effortlessly—but these are not the things that are really valued among little boys,and education is a lot more than reading,spelling,and math.Lucas had physical talents.He could run faster,climb higher up a tree,and throw a stone farther.
The annual school football selection contest was coming up,and Dawson had no doubt that Lucas would be selected.Lucas always got selected.He ran fast,he handled the ball well,and he didn't get frightened when other kids tried to tackle (抢断球).Dawson desperately wanted to be selected.
Despite his talents in football,Lucas trained very hard,running,passing or shooting the ball on the football field whether it was sunny or rainy,while Dawson was always absent from the training due to his lack of confidence because he was not good at football.
One weekend,Dawson arrived at his grandpa's home,looking helpless. "What's wrong?" asked Grandpa kindly. "It's the football selection contest.I want to be selected like Lucas but I am not confident."
Dawson's grandpa gently stroked his grandson's shoulder and said, "You and Lucas have been friends for a long time and during that time there is something I have learned about Lucas.Over my life I have met a lot of other people like him.In my experience,the best athletes have a few secrets that help them gain success." as though he were a master magician finally agreeing to tell his student some safely guarded magical tricks of the trade.Dawson was eager to learn the secrets.
